The «Shades of Blue» actress recorded a heartfelt plea for donations.
Jennifer Lopez recorded a heartfelt plea Thursday to get people to donate to hurricane relief efforts for Puerto Rico.
In the Instagram video, J. Lo not only directed her followers to where they could donate but also revealed that she still hasn’t heard from her family who live on the decimated island.
“What’s on my mind is what’s going on in Puerto Rico. The devastation is beyond belief,” said Lopez. “Me and my cousin still haven’t been able to hear from our families over there.”
She continued, “Today, Puerto Rico needs our help. I urge you to support and donate to the efforts of the first lady of Puerto Rico, Beatriz Areizaga. Together we can help rebuild our island, and the Caribbean.”
Lopez’s ex-husband Marc Anthony also urged his followers to donate with videos in English and Spanish, saying, “Today, Puerto Rico needs our help.”
Authorities say the island may be without power for at least four months following Hurricane Maria. The island was already battered by Hurricane Irma, which hit days earlier.
