Dear coworkers, 

Earlier this week Puerto Rico was hit by one of the most powerful hurricanes ever recorded in the Atlantic. The life and economic loss are massive. Most of the island's roads are either blocked or washed out, and the electricity and telecoms systems went down broadly.(In a personal note: <ADD SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR FAMILY OR FRIENDS IN THE ISLAND>).

While it's still early to assess all damage, the early reports are incredibly awful. Much like the areas of US that were affected by Harvey and Irma, Maria will leave a painful scar. Electricity, food, & clean water will be scarce for months. Some areas will probably be completely disconnected from the outer world for a while. 

I share this with you so you can appreciate the gravity of the situation and ask you for your help. 

How to help:
