As Puerto Rico continues to struggle to recover from Hurricane Maria, many are doing what they can to help including The White House announced Thursday it had temporarily waived the 97-year old “Jones Act”, lifting restrictions on ships able to provide much-needed aid to the island.

However, another interesting story has emerged. Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Barea, a native of Puerto Rico desperately needed a way to rescue his mother and grandmother from the U.S. territory.
