'One person can make a difference,' said Acevedo Campbell with the San Jose Puerto Rican Civic Club, '...thinking about the future and what that future holds for our island.'
Acevedo Campbell and her team have been able to coordinate help in just weeks from the South Bay thousands of miles away.
And the work only continues, the nonprofit behind all of it is San Jose's Puerto Rican Civic Club, a key local force behind relief sent five years ago, whenall but leveled the Island. The lessons learned from that disaster, still serving them now. "I was so excited because I didn't fit in anywhere, I couldn't understand the Mexican lingo, or the South American lingo, or their Spanish was a little bit different," she reflected, "I didn't fit in with the American people, because my English was broken, so there was no place for me and when I found the Dia de San Juan festival, I found home."
