It's been about two weeks since Hurricane Maria completely ravaged Puerto Rico, leaving the island with no power and a lack of clean drinking water.

Puerto Rico still needs all of our help. And celebrities more than government, to be honest have been stepping up. Streaming service TIDAL has announced that they are teaming up with New York Governor Andrew Cuomos Empire State Relief and Recovery Effort to deliver 200,000 pounds worth of cargo and hurricane-relief supplies to Puerto Rico.

The first plane is supposed to leave on October 7th. On that plane will be much needed emergency supplies, including batteries, cases of waters, diapers, baby wipes, products for women, and more.

TIDAL is encouraging those in New York to help by dropping off items at anyone of its 19 locations throughout the city.

On Instagram, rapper Fat Joe made an impassioned plea for help:

TIDAL is also providing hurricane relief through its third annual Tidal X: Brooklyn concert. The show will be headlined by JAY-Z and will feature appearances from the likes of Jennifer Lopez, DJ Khaled, Rapsody, and more. One hundred percent of ticket proceeds will be donated to those affected by Hurricane Harvey, Hurricane Irma, Hurricane Maria, and the earthquakes in Mexico.
