It wasn't an easy journey for Jaz Iverson's parents, Roberto and Candy Marrero, traveling all the way to Minnesota while caring for their son Macho--Jaz' brother--at each step of the way. He relies on an oxygen tank and suffers from spina bifida, as well as a host of other health issues, making it increasingly difficult to care for Macho without electricity or even clean water back on the island commonwealth. But, less than three weeks after Maria swept their old lives away, the families, along with the Jorge Posada Foundation, managed to raise $15,000 for a charter flight to Miami, then another to Minnesota.
