Gordon Bair, President of the LERC Foundation, and Wayne Casper, Treasurer of the LERC Foundation gave us an overview of what the LERC Foundation did in 2019.

What Your Foundation Dollars Can Do!

A year after Hurricane Maria tore through Puerto Rico, local Rotary members continue to rebuild homes and lives

Have you every thought about what it might be like after a hurricane hit? This about how local Rotary members helped rebuild homes in Puerto Rico and how your donations to the Rotary Foundation helped as they sought grants.

Eladio Montalvo faced a stark choice: risk drowning in his one-story home or climb through a window into the house next door. It was under construction but had a second floor where he could escape the rising floodwaters. He boosted his dog through and scrambled in after him. The two huddled inside an upstairs bathroom for 22 hours while Hurricane Maria raged over Puerto Rico. With 155 mph winds and torrential rains, Maria was the strongest hurricane to hit the island in more than 80 years.

After the storm, Montalvo went out to see what was left of the home he had lived in since 1958. The walls were standing, but the water inside had risen chest-high. Everything was destroyed. Without any family nearby, he had nowhere to go. He moved into his car.

“But after the storm came the calm,” he says. “Good people came.”
