Call to Action – Support our Mission to Help Restore Puerto Rico!
By purchasing flat rate printing products, future print credits, or a special, custom project, a portion of the profits will be used to help restore Puerto Rico. Specifically, after Hurricanes Irma and Maria, there are many abandoned buildings in Puerto Rico that we want to demolish and make the lots available for future development.
The Problem
abandoned buildings
Residential & commercial
- Uninhabitable
- Unsafe

- Gangs and Drug Use
- Depressing for Neighbors
- Hurts Tourism
The Solution
restoration project
acquisition & demolition
Step 1 – Acquire Properties
Step 2 – Purchase 1 Dump Truck, 1 Trailer, 3 Bobcats, and Concrete Crusher
Step 3 – Obtain permit to tear down
Step 4 – Use dynamite or front-end loader to collapse concrete structure to ground
Step 5 – Break up into manageable pieces of concrete / steel
Step 6 – Using trucks – haul these to an offsite location
– Separate steel and concrete
– Crush concrete to be recycled and store in yard (offsite location)
The Future
the goal
Beautify & encourage growth
Upon demolition of an abandoned structure, fencing will be placed around the lot, with some colorful flowers on the fencing, and the property will be sold for future development. This will accomplish:
- Removal of unsafe structures
- Beautify neighborhoods that have not received any attention after the hurricanes
- Make areas more appealing to encourage tourism
- Make properties ready for future development
- Provide compassion and encouragement to the people living near these properties
