Tidal Charters Cargo Plane to Deliver Aid to Puerto Rico

Many celebrities have pitched in when it comes to offering relief aid to Puerto Rico. From Mark Cuban to Pitbull as well as Carmelo Anthony, where the Dotard of the United States doesn’t seem to give a damn, others have proved they do.

And, now, Jay-Z and his music-streaming service, Tidal, in conjunction with New York Gov. Andre Cuomo’s Empire State Relief and Recovery Effort, have chartered a plane that’s set to leave Oct. 7 to assist in delivering aid to the island.

The Tidal X: Puerto Rico plane will carry 200,000 pounds of batteries, flashlights, portable lanterns, diapers, baby wipes, cases of water and feminine hygiene products. The company is also asking for people in New York state to donate items at one of a number of drop-off locations (listed below). The sites will accept donations every day between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. All items must be unopened and in their original packaging:

Everyone cares more about Puerto Rico than the dotard in chief.
