Hurrican Fiona impacted the lives, well-being, and livelihood of many of our Seeds of Success participants, most of whom come from families and communities with modest means and low access to resources. We are collaborating with the Puerto Rico Science and Technology Trust to distribute economic assistance to our students who were most affected. Girls who request assistance will receive $250 to cover any needs and expenses. CienciaPR has already committed $5,000. We are calling on our Seeds of Success collaborators and their employees to contribute to this fund. Funds will go directly to support our Seeds of Success girls. Any funds remaining after all requests have been satisfied will go towards supporting the costs of mental health providers, which we have already secured to provide services to girls participating in our programs and workshops.
