It has being more than a month since hurricane Maria devastated the small island of Puerto Rico. The citizens of all social classes are being forced to seek different methods of survival. Many have been seeking shelter in locations like tool sheds, school buildings and the home of other family members. Puerto Rico's poor have been driven into further poverty. For example Iris Perez and her two adult daughter have been forced to seek shelter in a elementary school. They describe the environment as unbearably hot and infested with mosquitos. Those who are part of a higher social classes have to learn to adjust to a lifestyle that is completely different comparing to the one that they were living before. Families and communities are coming together to ensure that everyone has something to eat and a place to stay.
