Hurricane Maria wrecked me

I havent been active for a month and half because Hurricane Maria came around here and wrecked everything in its path. There hasnt been electricity, nor water, nor any phone service yet since the day it came to the island. Ton of businesses went down and not many markets have their stocks full. Right now very few part of places on the island finally has gotten services working and electricity up and running but where I am from hasnt got anything yet untill november or december. We still fill up buckets of water from the rain and use nearby powerplants for charging our only devices for entertainment. My father's job is temporarily down untill who-knows-when. He is currently selling washing boards in the streets to get atleast money for food.
The brightside, im alive and still holding strong. Im spending more time with my cousins and bike riding again. I will continue to stick around with the gmc but wont be so active as I use to; im using another family's internet connection atm and I cant access online all the time. Just to let you all know im fine and even things gotten hell, im slowly recovering.

I would appreciate any support from the community if its possible. Not necesarily, but if anything, it would be very appreciative.

Thousands of people are in dire situation thanks to Harvey, Irma and Maria produced by the last hurricane season.
It's important to be patient now and not lose hope. It'll be a slow process but things should eventually go back to normal; and hopefully disasters of this scale will not happen again any time soon again.

Sorry to hear what happened over there Misu... Be sure, however, that eventually everything will be back the way it was! With some patience and hard work, your life will soon go back on track :)
Glad to hear that you are alright, though! I know you can't be very active here, but try to keep us updated! :)

Do you need financial support? Could probably setup a go fundme if you have a method of withdraw if that's what you are asking.

Use it to build great things, then when the time comes, leech wifi at a Mcdonalds and upload to the jam. That's what I do anyway.
Nah... If I want to participate, I would want access to wifi connection at night too. Its not gonna work out for me.
