FUEL RELIEF FUND has completed its relief efforts in Puerto Rico. We have left the island with memories of incredibly resilient citizens, wonderful volunteers, and a great sense of accomplishment. But even with all the encouragement and support we received from local communities and government officials, we could not have done anything without donors like you. It was well reported that there was an urgent need for fuel in Puerto Rico and with your contributions, we were able to send 3 teams of experts to deliver fuel to those most in need.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, we gave away more than $162,000 USD in fuel. This free fuel was a life-saving commodity supporting rescue workers and medical personnel in operating emergency equipment and vehicles. It enabled survivors to run generators to light their homes, power their refrigerators, and charge their phones. We provided fuel to thousands of personal vehicles so that people could seek out medical care, visit displaced family members, and travel to disaster assistance service centers to receive support.
Once more, we thank you for your trust and generosity. If you would like to continue to support us, please consider giving to the FRF Core Fund which makes it possible for Fuel Relief Fund to respond SMARTER, FASTER and STRONGER to future disasters.
