Educational Community Relief Center for 600 people

We are grateful for NGO partners, corporations, donors and supporters for their generousand continued  support to the "Educational Community Relief Center Project". On behalf of For Such a Time as This, and the people that have been impacted by grocery, prescription drugs,school uniforms and school supplies for kids, help with the payment for school enrollment fees, car seat for single mom and her child, etc., we would like to express our deepest gratitude.Without your contribution and support, our journey would not have progressed and prospered in changing the lives of the families, children, youth, bedridden individuals, and senior citizens who came from an economically disadvantaged background.

Most Puerto Ricans, still struggling every day to bring food to their family table. Some still without a home or a roof after two-year anniversary of Hurricane Maria,this past September 20th. Assurance of a safe home, food security, and sustainable subsistence living are very important in uplifting the economic condition of the communities.

While we continued to work with all the documentation needed to acquire the unused/abandoned school building, our past Governor resigned as Puerto Ricans protested for his removal. After ten days of riots in the middle of corruption, racism and sex scandals, he resigned. This not only affected Puerto Rico as a community, but it also affected the procedure of evaluation of our request, which in turn is on hold until the new governor reviews the list of unused/abandon school buildings and makes new decisions. In the meantime, we have a small office from where we still helping and loving our people.

We need the school building for our people. In which several activities, classes, trainings and much more will be taking place in benefit of the residents of the communities in Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico and the bordering areas. We will not stop until our communities will have the "Educational Community Relief Center Project"

 We are committed to Puerto Rico’s recovery. Thanks to your donations and support we can keep helping families,children,youths, and adults in Puerto Rico.

Thank you for supporting Puerto Rico and  For Such a Time as This.

We, For Such a Time as This are committed to continuing the help of our families and communities. After almost 2 years from Hurricane Maria devastation, our people are still in need; physical,emotional and spiritual. Day by day we are growing more devoted to keep helping individuals, families, and communities to a better present and a better future.

The process has been long and slow. We had to talk to so many people, write so many letters, and sign so many documents, but we are committed with our community and with Puerto Rico. We will keep working and doing whatever the agencies ask us to do until we have the abandoned school building for the Community Relief Center. We will see it!

It is a great responsibility but when you are called to do it.. things just fall into place! We have met with professionals in different areas to create the programs we will be offering at the Educational Community Relief Center, such as  art, mindfulness, wellness, health programs, financial programs and more to encourage a better present and a better future for families. We had a great time in the States raising awareness of Puerto Rico’s situation and meeting with people to explain the vision of the Community Relief Center. We will be impacting more than 6,000 people.

We are called to serve and we are serving Puerto Rico! We are workimg now to leave a legacy for the generations to come.

For the vision is yet for the appointed time, it hastens towards the goal and it will not fail.Though it tarries,wait for it..For it will certainly come, it will not delay. -Habakkuk 2:3
