To the American Mothers of Puerto Rico

My dear Moms of Puerto Rico,

I am so sorry. For days after your island was historically devastated by the powerful Hurricane Maria, your fellow Americans argued loudly about the proper observance of our national anthem and cast only a side glance at your suffering.

It is inexcusable.

But make no mistake, you, my American sisters, are loved and cared for. Slowly but surely, your fellow moms here on the main land States have been rallying each other to help. We’ve been shouting about it on Facebook, we’ve been linking to ways to donate, we’ve been donating money, and we’ve been organizing supply drives. Finally, we are waking up and GETTING BUSY to come to your aid. Our children are raising money with lemonade stands and collecting much-needed hygiene supplies at their elementary schools.
