Perhaps MSNBC could make a donation. Rev. Al, Rachel, Chris, Joe & Mika could certainly assist financially for water.
@RetRN

The donations aren't the problem. Yesterday there were.TEN THOUSAND shipping crates on the ground containing food and water. Supposedly boots were on the ground also, but no one was opening the crates or delivering supplies.

Financial donations are not the problem at the moment.
Couldn't the mayor or residents open crates?

@RetRN

No, apparently not. And we are talking huge crates, metal from what it looks like.

Troops may not be able to get to everyone right away but there are people in need standing right around the crates.

Everyone interviewed in PR has said they haven't seen any of our troops.

Go ahead--blame our troops, if it makes you feel better. I think they are the best of the best and are grateful for their service.

Thank goodness for the volunteer doctors who came to Puerto Rico on their own. Cancer patients, diabetics with no more insulin and those who need dialysis were in dire need.

@RetRN

Please don't make things up for your own benefit. I DID NOT blame our troops. Our troops don't make their own decisions when or where to act.

Shame on you for trying to be divisive.

Here's the mayor with her lack of leadership and expecting everything...as was stated earlier in this thread...something to that effect. Never used these letters here before, but SMH at that one.

"Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

Hi @Greeneyedlady21

IMO, that mayor is a hero.

@Greeneyedlady21

I’ve seen her speak...begging, crying...all this week.

This picture literally brings tears to my eyes.

Thank you for posting.

Nobody is blaming our troops!!!! We just need more of them there. Over 20,000 were finally brought in for Katrina. And yes, the people in PR are doing everything they can to reach their forgotten victims. With impassible wiped out roads, it's difficult to reachthe outlying areas. Corps of Engineers could help. As for opening the crates, that's the least of the problem. They need to be able to get them to the remote areas especially. They may have to resort to air lifts and helicopters.
