Low-Income Families in Puerto Rico
Hunger, food insecurity, and poverty seem to have gotten worse in the past couple of years in Puerto Rico. The unincorporated U.S. territory heavily relies on government aid and funding to provide housing, healthcare, and food-related amenities to its population. Despite these interventions, however, a significant portion of the Puerto Rican population lives in poverty.
The welfare programs and assistance packages provided to Puerto Ricans typically cover benefits pertaining to healthcare, housing, food, and employment. Rarely do these packages include access to quality cell phone services.
That’s where our team comes into the picture.
About Life Link Today
Life Link Today gives Puerto Ricans from low-income communities direct access to premium cell phone services. We accommodate individuals and households specifically from the population that depends on government assistance, connecting them to us or local cell phone service providers and providing them the opportunity to use working cell phone services.
Advancements in technology have made cellular services a necessity. These are no longer luxury facilities for the rich and famous, but basic services that every individual needs to progress in society. Despite this, most government aid programs tend to exclude cellular services from their benefits. Consequently, most individuals from low-income groups have limited or no access to cell phone services. They are unable to stay connected with friends, family members, and acquaintances living in/traveling outside their neighborhoods and experience major livelihood drawbacks. For instance, they can’t make important appointments using a cell phone, can’t receive important updates regarding work or education opportunities, and can’t use internet services. This greatly affects their standard of living and strains their socio-economic growth.
Life Link Today is here to change this. We strive to help benefit seekers and assist users in Puerto Rico directly access the latest and most reliable cell phone services. Our team connects qualifying individuals to our partnering networks, helping them avail cellular services free of cost. While the extent of amenities depends on their individual circumstances, typically, users can have access to unlimited text messaging, voice messages and calls, and internet services. Puerto Ricans who qualify for public housing, food stamps, or Medicaid can access each of these services freely.
