Ricky Martin a few days ago shared on his official Instagram account an image with former Vice President Joe Biden where he promoted the Democratic presidential candidate’s plan for Puerto Rico.
The message coincided with the third anniversary of Hurricane Maria’s devastating landfall in the U.S. commonwealth. “Biden will ensure that Puerto Rico will receive urgently needed federal disaster reconstruction funds to support Puerto Rico’s long-term recovery and increase its ability to withstand future storms,” Martin wrote.
The ravages of Maria continue to be felt among the Puerto Rican people, and remain visible in the island’s infrastructure. The New England Journal of Medicine estimates Maria killed 4,645 people in Puerto Rico.
