Hurricane Fiona impacted the lives, well-being, and livelihood of many college students throughout Puerto Rico.

Some are still dealing with these challenges.

Supporting Puerto Rico after Hurricane Fiona

On Sunday, September 18, 2022, Hurricane Fiona made landfall in southwestern Puerto Rico, the same area most impacted by the 2020 earthquakes. Fiona has left a catastrophic amount of rain and damage across the archipelago. Most people are without power and many are without water. All this, just days before the five-year anniversary of Hurricane María today, on September 20th. Puerto Rico has barely recovered from the man-made disaster that followed that storm, the legacies of which are still physically and emotionally present.
