Puerto Rico has a lot of problems. In 2017, two hurricanes destroy a big part of the country. In January this year, earthquakes come. They injure a lot of people. The country is devastated.

The US wants to help. The country wants to send money to Puerto Rico. Leaders agree to give more than $8 billion dollars to Puerto Rico.

However, there are problems with the distribution of the money. Leaders say that the political situation in Puerto Rico is complicated. They cannot send all the money.

There is a team that takes care of the distribution. It is important that the money goes to the people who really need it.

Difficult words: devastated (very broken or destroyed), distribution (giving things to many people), complicated (difficult).
