Boricuas de Corazon COVID-19 Relief Efforts

David Triana Posted: April 6, 2020

Tampa’s Boricuas de Corazon, with the help of other non-profit organizations and individuals, are leading a program in central Florida to help the most vulnerable during the COVID-19 crisis.

The primary goal is to help low income families, immigrants, and senior citizens in Orange, Osceola, and Hillsborough Counties.

Linda Perez Davila, the founder and Executive Director of the Boricuas de Corazon stated, “by the week of 6 April, we will have helped 100 families and will continue efforts to help as many people as possible in these hard times.”

The work of this group truly represents the “WE are in this TOGETHER” spirit!
