I knew I needed to help out the families on the island. I pulled an all nighter to finish the painting and sold prints to raise funds to help Puerto Rico with disaster relief. Together we raised over $300 which I donated to the Hispanic Federation. I also donated some prints to auctions which were also raising funds. I chose the Hispanic Federation because they sent funds directly to Puerto Rico. They have a 4 star rating on charity navigator. To learn more check out their websites below.
