J.A.G Puerto Rico Relief Fund
Donation protected
In loving memory of Joseph A. Gallant Sr.
Though Hurricane Maria is long gone from Puerto Rico, the island’s people are still struggling to cope with the chaos and destruction the storm left behind. As some are aware I am of Puerto Rican descent with several family members on the island who are facing a growing humanitarian crisis. My family and I visited the island earlier this year after the passing of my father who had been living there for the past 7 years.
In his honor and on behalf of my family I have felt compelled to do what I can to raise money and support relief efforts. My Uncle Robert Gonzalez and I are setting up this page to raise funds to support our efforts to buy and send much needed supplies directly to local organizations on the ground. Robert will be overseeing logistics of getting supplies from his warehouse in Elizabeth NJ to Port San Juan.
Robert Gonzalez is the founder and CEO of RJG Consultants specializing in import and export (http://www.rjgconsultantscorp.com/). Joe Gallant is a fundraising and Development professional working for the Polaris Project in Washington, D.C. (https://polarisproject.org/)
We realized that by combining our skills we can have a great impact on the recovery efforts. Any gift no matter how small will make a difference!
