This past Sunday, NYDIS marched with over 100 of our evacuee clients, guests from Puerto Rico, NYC-PR LTRG and VOAD partners, and staff in the National Puerto Rican Day Parade. Our float featured the slogan “Estamos Aquí” meaning “We are here”. The phrase pays tribute to the 3,ooo Puerto Rican evacuees of Hurricane Maria and reminds the city that their need for long term relief endures.
The NYDIS float and it’s supporters walked down 5th Avenue all the way from 43th to 79th Street, dancing along to live musical performances by DJ Verseti, BRBN, Bria Lee, Bodega Bamz, Dynasty the King, and Nino Khayyam.

Lowell is a 70-year-old man who resides with his wife in Flushing, Queens. He worked for an advertising firm on the 12th floor of the Empire State Building when the attacks of 9/11 occurred. A veteran of the Vietnam War, and a reservist, he spent the ensuing months sifting through rubble, organizing the delivery of heavy lift cranes across the George Washington Bridge, and leading young volunteers in response operations. He slept in the Mayor’s Emergency Bunker at Ground Zero for 40 days, eventually returning home to his wife in late October 2001.
