Can You Help Me Figure Out How To Help A Few Refugees? (PR)

[usedtobedemgurl]

I have some extra space in my house. Not much but when you are in the conditions that are facing Puerto Ricans, this would possibly be good for two or three people? Anyway, I am sure some folks getting off the island (did you know the Puerto Rico was an island and you cannot just drive there? Seriously, it is in the middle of a thing called the Atlantic!!!) need a place and have nowhere to go. I really do not have money to get them here but perhaps I could pick them up or they could find a way to get to NC? Anyway, I have no idea how to locate a family in need. I assume this may be a need for some folks escaping from the hell that is going on right now but I am not sure how to offer up my house to a couple of people. Is this needed? If so, who can I reach out to? I feel a need to do this but I have no idea where I can go to put this in action. Thank you for any ideas you may have.

1. maybe the red cross? they have to register ppl who..

...come into the shelters and I am assuming shelters will be set up at the point of entry for the ppl flying over. That's so generous of you! I live near Seattle so if Vancouver island ( OR HAWAII..another huge island in the middle of a large ocean) is ever under attack I can make the same offer.

They do coordinate getting families to willing homes.
