After 44 long days, I finally have my power back at home!!!! :'D

So it's been a month after María struck us and things haven't changed that much. The government has yet to pick up the trash and damages that the hurricane brought upon us and there's still no power over where I live and on most of the island. Only some places have it and it's unstable (these are some hospitals and part of our capital). The communication has gotten better (right now I'm using my internet), but signal is unstable as well sometimes. Death count has increased with approximately 49 deaths linked to the event.
          
          I honestly can't wait for this thing to be over with. It has been like living in a nightmare. We all just want to go back to our normal lives...

Hey, it's Ali here. I just wanted to make it clear to my readers the reasons as to why I haven't been active on Wattpad lately. First of all, 11th grade has been a bitch. Second of all... Where I live, Puerto Rico, we had to experience hurricane Maria.
          
          Hurricane Maria was just horrible. That event was the most catastrophic one in our history... Most of our island doesn't have any power, some places have no water, and communication has been a mess. It honestly sucks... We've been living 16 days already in these conditions. I was fortunate enough that my area wasn't very affected and my uncle is lending us a bit of their power generator, but other people here aren't so lucky.
          
          Many people lost their homes and everything they ever had. Thirty-four deaths have been linked to the hurricane so far, but there's still citizens here dying of hunger. Shelters are packed with families.
          
          So please... I hope you guys can understand our situation. Also, if you can, please try to help us by donating food and/or other necessary supplies to Puerto Rico. #PuertoRicoSeLevanta #PuertoRicoDePie
          
          Thank you for your attention and until next time; when this thing goes back to normal I'll try to write again! Ali L., out!
