AERA Statement on Providing Our Support for the Victims of Hurricane Maria


A second wave of destruction has brought devastation to our colleagues, students, and the entire population of Puerto Rico. Hurricane Maria, along with Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Harvey,  is causing immense pain for those impacted. AERA continues to be committed to supporting individuals affected by these terrible events.

The residents and families without access to food, water, and shelter represent a terrifying reality throughout the Caribbean. Once again, we must quickly come together to help our friends in Puerto Rico recover from these severe circumstances.

Please continue to contribute to efforts for protecting the health and safety of children, youth, and adults in the area. One credible guide for donors is Charity Navigator, which offers information about relief organizations and ways to contribute.

Remaining united during the coming weeks and months is crucial in helping distressed communities move forward. Our thoughts are with all who are suffering during this very difficult time.
