In the hurricane season of 2004, my family hunkered down in our Florida home as four hurricanes crashed through the state. One storm followed another, snuffing out our power for over a week and felling an oak tree above my sister’s room. The destruction was much worse for others. Still, help came for every Floridian who needed it. The same cannot be said for our neighbors to the south. In September of 2017, Hurricane Maria made landfall on the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico.
