Pitbull Sent A Plane To Puerto Rico To Help Bring Cancer Patients To The US For Chemo

Mr. Worldwide is helping to save lives.

After Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico, nearly 3.4 million residents have been left without power, electricity, or communication.

According to reports, it could take months for basic services to be restored, and up to a decade to rebuild the infrastructure.

This has caused dire circumstances for those who need immediate medical attention. Puerto Rico has 69 hospitals, but only 11 have fuel and power.

And while the US government has been criticized for its slow response to the natural disaster, Pitbull has stepped up to help those in need.
