Saludos,
Es para mi un privilegio poder expresarles cuán formidable es este ministerio para todos los que hemos podido conocerlo desde sus inicios.
Siempre Yani y Luis han estado ahí para los necesitados y para todo aquel que tenga alguna carencia tanto material ,como emocional y espiritual. Es hermoso contar con este ministerio de compasión dentro de un mundo tan egoísta y carente de amor. Gracias por existir para los menos privilegiados.

Forsuchatimeasthis doesn't just provide services; they ignite hope. Whether it's a child receiving a backpack full of school supplies or giving a senior citizen a hot meal, they remind us that kindness matters.

Una organización muy comprometida en el servicio de ayudar a todo aquel que lo solicite. No solo impacta el área donde están ubicados sino que se extienden hacia lugares que otros no llegan o se le hace difícil llegar. Esta vez llegaron a diversos lugares de la montaña a través de líderes comprometidas que impactaron con sus suministros parte de la población adulta mayor. Exhortamos a que los apoyen para que puedan continuar con su exitosa labor.

Saludos!

Es difícil escribir cuando el agradecimiento viene del corazón. For Such a Time, ayudó a mis niños de familas homeschooling que no tenian materiales para trabajar en su casa Durante los terremotos en el sur de Puerto Rico. Una ayuda que llegó de manera inmediata y llena de amor.
Hoy luego de Fiona pedí ayuda para un matrimonio de Adjuntas que peedió su jogar, su ropa, comida, medicamentos. Yanira llegó con bolsaa completas de comida, ropa... Mawuinaria de asma, medicinas... Y mucho amor. Lo mejor es saber que la ayuda llega, sentir que contamos con gente que siempre busca la forma de hacer llegar ayuda al mas necesitado.
Gracias por existir !
Gracias por toda la ayuda!
Gracias por el amor que ofrecen!
Son de gran bendición para el pueblo de Puerto Rico.
Dios los bendiga

Mi nombre es Víctor Vélez Cucuta y resido junto a mi familia en la Urb. Valle Hermoso Abajo en Hormigueros, Puerto Rico. Luego del paso de Huracán Fiona por la zona suroeste de Puerto Rico, mi familia y la gran parte de mi comunidad lo perdió todo. Such A Time As This nos contactó con la intención de ayudar a nuestra comunidad y de inmediato se organizaron para impactar nuestra urbanización. Llegaron con un grupo de personas con comida caliente, artículos de primera necesidad y ropa. Gran parte de nuestros vecinos fueron beneficiados. Organizaciones como estas , merecen reconocimiento y apoyo para que continúen su labor. ¡Gracias!

I love the heart of this organization and I am in full support of the work they do. They have made such a difference and are continuously helping with the practical needs of the people in their local communities.

I love what they do. I love to support them.

Since Hurricane Fiona, they have been non stop serving the people In need! Tomorrow they will be providing 150 hot meals, water, and hygiene kits. I wish I could be there to help but knowing that I can support an amazing organization in the meantime Is an awesome feeling.

Since the emergency of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico in 2017, I have known first-hand the incomparable work carried out by FSTaT. From food distribution, school supplies for children, rebuilding homes are just some of the tasks they carried out. After that it continues with service projects aimed to the less fortunate youth and also taking care of our seniors. Definitely an NGO that can be fully trusted. They work in alliance to maximize help to the needy. If you are looking for where to direct your money or resources to a serious and responsible organization, FSTaT is the right one.

For Such a time as this is a nonprofit highly compromised with helping those who truly need it. They have helped through the most difficult situations Puerto Rico has suffered like Hurricane Maria, earthquakes, Covid 19... , It has helped families with basic needs such as food, clothing, school supplies etc. This organization is really committed to serve and help those who are in need. I have personally seen families they have helped with groceries, hot meals, electric generators, car seats, and much more in times they thought there was no hope. This organization is really a trustworthy nonprofit community.

I've know about the foundation for quite a while now and have even served in volunteer work. I must say they are a true blessing. Not only for my family but for many other forgotten communities that because of distance in mountains or the coast of the island they always say present. I pray that anyone that knows of the foundation For Such a Time as this makes a contribution because it is very necessary for the work being done.

Una experiencia gratificante y maravillosa. Aquí no hay agendas escondidas. Todo lo que se recauda es para los necesitados. Lo hacen con un corazón noble y lleno del verdadero mensaje de Jehovà, "ama a tu prójimo como a ti mismo". Cuando la mayoría esta en su casa lamentándose, ellos están en la calle, respondiendo al llamado del mas vulnerable. Buscando soluciones permanentes a problemas serios y siempre llevando una palabra de aliento y esperanza. Recomendado al 100%

Excellent nonprofit compromised with helping those who truly need it. Every cent received is used toward helping Puerto Rican families and communities. For such a Time as This, always goes the extra mile. I have watched closely as this nonprofit has always been ready to help in Puerto Rico’s greatest hardships (Hurricane Maria, the tremors, Covid 19... etc) , but also when everything appears to be going well. They are ready to serve if any family is in need of groceries in order to have food on their plates, or if any child need the basic supplies to be ready for school. If you are searching for a trustable nonprofit to help or donate; For such a Time as This is the perfect option where every cent is used to help those in need.
