Mariel Perez, wife of Cubs pitcher René Rivera, started a GoFundMe page with a goal of raising $20,000 to help Puerto Rico recover from the string of storms that have passed through.
“Puerto Rico needs us more than ever, that is why we have joined forces to help any way we can,” Perez posted
“We have created this that will help rebuild our island. Every dollar counts! Please help us help!”
