Carlos Correa is sending a plane full of supplies to Puerto Rico this weekend

Astros shortstop Carlos Correa, originally from Ponce, Puerto Rico, is loading up a plane this weekend with supplies and sending it to the island that was absolutely walloped by Hurricane Maria just a few weeks ago.

According to MLB.com’s Richard Justice, Astros owner Jim Crane, Texas-based grocery store chain H-E-B, and Texas-based sporting goods store Academy Sports are assisting with the cargo plane and supplies.

This won’t be the first plane Crane has sent to Puerto Rico, as he already sent two planes packed with relief supplies and one to pick up passengers.

Dodgers player Enrique Hernandez tweeted that his father was on that plane and was able to evacuate because of that help, and he thanked the Astros organization for sending it:

Correa has been collecting supplies since Maria hit and figuring out how to get them to the southern part of the island — where he and his family are from.

He wore cleats with the Puerto Rican flag on them in September, and told The Star:

“It’s really tough. You’re out here trying to show a happy face and play baseball every single day and try to smile, but inside I know that my family may be in trouble. I don’t know where they are, what they’re doing or how they are. So it’s really tough to think about.”

According to Correa, supplies are getting to the northern part of the country but because of the conditions on the ground it is harder to get things to South, where he and his family hail from and where he still has many relatives.

Hopefully this plane will be able to spread supplies where they are needed near Correa’s family and help others who haven’t been able to receive relief materials yet.
