Yesterday, Jon and Matt were able to recover over $100,000 in medical supplies from a forward clinic that was unfortunately, unable to continue operating due to staffing.

Thanks to a few other connections and contacts (who will remain unnamed until we're authorized to disclose), our team was able to locate and coordinate with the the forward clinic's GM to further inventory, secure and transport the intended supplies.

We're soon to meet with the Northern/Central Health Department Director to proceed with further coordinating the disbursement of the recovered supplies, to the many free clinics that are still operational on the island. More to follow.

We apologize for the lack of updates recently.

We're an extremely understaffed non-profit team that has been dedicating every waking moment, bead of sweat and breath of air towards helping those in need, here in Puerto Rico since October 14th. Sadly, over the past couple of weeks, a few members of our team have since returned home. Through all of their hard work and dedication, we were successfully able to medically evacuate countless lives, transport thousands of pounds worth of food, water and medical supplies, provide assistance during multiple security based operations and conduct 200+ health and welfare checks during their stay.

Thanks again Matt K. & Joseph! Looking forward to working with you guys on our next major relief effort.

Matt Alves, welcome to the team brother! You've been a huge asset since your arrival and we greatly appreciate all the skills, dedication and selfless service that you've brought along with.

Jon & Matt A. - Keep moving mountains. You guys are killing it out there. The shear amount of positive feedback that we're receiving from the locals is absolutely incredible and insanely motivating. Stay safe guys. More to follow.

Sorry, we haven't posted any updates in a few days but it's only because we've been super busy.

Today, one of our fellow team members on the ground had to head back home so most of the day was spent traveling to and from San Juan. Thanks for all the help and assistance Joseph Herd! VRT is looking forward to some of your uniform and gear ideas once your home!

For the first time in a couple of days, our guys have had somewhat of a slower-paced / down day yesterday after linking up and networking with yet another massive volunteer group. With our vast amount of connections, along with the numerous volunteer groups that we've been working with for two weeks now, it looks like some serious progress is going to be made over the next couple of weeks!

We look forward to working with all of you and hope that our Valor Response Team can continue to bring all the other teams, agencies, departments and HOPEFULLY (fingers crossed) municipalities that we've worked with, together.

Puerto Rico, our mission is FAR from over. We're in this for the long haul! More pictures and videos from the ground, coming soon.
