DO NOT DONATE TO THE RED CROSS a lot of American outlets are linking them DO NOT DO IT. Also be wary of donating to any gofundsme etc anyone can set these up and you don’t know how authentic they are.
Here are alternatives:
Unidos Por Puerto RIco
This site is being ran by the First Lady of Puerto Rico, Beatriz Rosselló. And at this time I think would be one of the best ones to donate to.
Caritas
This organization has been doing good work since 1969.
Hispanic Federation
Another great organization very transparent and easy with their donation process.
