After hurricanes Irma and Maria, I saw all over the news, people struggling. There were so many people without food, water, and electricity. I wanted help. I knew I didn’t have any money to help so I did what I could … I cooked. I organized four “Pie” events where I made pies to sell and raise money for hurricane relief efforts. I made empanadas in the first two events and I made classic dessert pies for the final two. . I am quite proud of my efforts. Overall, I raised over $4000 for relief efforts. Several people bought pies from out of town … their pies were donated to homeless.
This was an amazing event, because not only was I able to see and problem and do something about it, I was able to make others aware so they could help, too.
