I just spoke to my mainland son (the one in Special Forces) who has spoken with my son in Puerto Rico. So some phone service is working. He lives in a middle class suburb of San Juan. He says the water has been restored, and that the lines at gas stations, stores, etc. are unbelievable. For the moment he is OK, but I wonder how much food he has on hand. When I was caring for my late husband at home when he was dying from Alzheimers, I stored up about 3 months worth of food, so I would not need to go shopping at the end.
Prayers for your son and family.
People need to find out where the pantry;s are located and distribution areas....too many want front door service!
If your son in Puerto Rico was to help at those centers there won’t be any issue of food.
When I was young trying to make it on my own I took a job at a small diner weekends while I looked for work during the week.......guaranteed I would eat!
“I stored up about 3 months worth of food, so I would not need to go shopping at the end.”
Because you have a brain!
I remember watching an interview 2 days after Hurricane Sandy with a family who were in the area effected but their house has totally dry. They stood there complaining about how they had no food!!! They had at least 2 weeks warning!!
For Christmas this year give your baby in Puerto Rico a couple weeks worth of MREs! Everyone in the Caribbean should have some stockpiled.
I’m glad your son’s OK, and wholeheartedly hope he remains that way.
