Lin-Manuel Miranda's next act: Helping rebuild Puerto Rico

Correspondent David Begnaud joins Lin-Manuel Miranda on a trip to hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico. The creator and star of the Broadway musical "Hamilton" has been leading relief efforts (including creating a charity song and video, "Almost Like Praying") for the island, which is still suffering nearly two months after Hurricane Maria decimated critical infrastructure, water and power supplies.

In many ways, Lin-Manuel Miranda is the most amazing man in modern history.

[@Julescr80]

☝🏼that’s true!

[@SpiralBreeze]

Lin is an angel as pure as they come.

[@themripley]

I am so proud of Lin but I am absolutely furious he has had to do this because Trump is so utterly useless.

[@stevie4920]

Megan Ripley This is exactly what I am thinking!

[@stevie4920]

Megan Ripley God, Trump is so stupid

[@DerangedHulk]

I'm not taking sides but Lin wanted to do this like know one is making him do this he wants to do this for his family for his people

[@ThePowerBunny]

Well honestly, the average citizen should be doing what they can to help the other. So props to Lin for taking responsibility and stepping up to the plate.

[@djinnisequoia]

Thank you for posting this, I hadn't heard about it. Lin-Manuel seems like a completely delightful person. So nice to know there are people like him in the world.

[@mary-bethscott3065]

I love this man so much he’s just amazing

[@patriciaburke2401]

His family and Puerto Rico must be so proud of him, as all Americans are. We are one & we must never forget that, despite the greedy, selfish, heartless politicians. We, the people, are ashamed of their neglect . They don't reflect the majority of Americans and that electoral college should be ashamed and stopped.

[@rainbowwriter672]

Lin-Manuel for 2020. He understands humanity and compassion.

[@yashiAR]

This really made me cry. Just alone looking at that porch..i cannot even begin to imagine how he and his family felt, and how the other people, whose life have been turned upside down by the disaster feel. I just hope that the supplies and the relief efforts are reaching them and helping them get out of this dire situation.

[@margaritaestrada2844]

Because of Lin-Manuel's status, his initiatives will be executed. For those of us who are collecting supplies from our neighborhoods to send to Puerto Rico, we wonder, "What if this is all in vain." But we believe in a higher power that controls all, and we couldn't just sit around crying and not take any action. There is no doubt in my mind that the American people care about Puerto Rico, because of the generosity I have been honored to see and feel from every ethnicity who has contributed money, checks, and supplies for our cause. However, we pray that supplies get to the people that need it. That somehow, divine intervention takes place, breaks through the barriers, because people are hungry, have no running water, and some are dying.

[@deadpoolnerd]

As a fellow Boricua living in America I understand how he feels especially when those that are supposed to lead and help put us down looking at us the value of human life with a price tag... but it's so uplifting to see one man step up for his people bolstering a huge feeling of hope

[@darleneserrano4747]

I am so proud of everything you are doing! God Bless..Pa' Alante

[@ivelisselaboy4307]

Lin you have such a kind heart! God bless you and give you many years to continue spreading love. ❤😚

[@charlypoem9928]

;-; he's so pure its beautiful

[@barbararey4337]

God bless him for his compassion in action :)

[@wizpiez1995]

Bought the song!! I live it sooo much, Maria is my favorite and when I saw that it helped Puerto Rico, I made an immediate decision. Thank you Lin, you have done so much for everyone

[@estherrosi-kessel5192]

Oh my God I love him so so so (add an infinite number of ‘sos’) much

[@kallyssawetzel2018]

Tickets for ten dollars??? I wanna live in porta rico

[@DerangedHulk]

Im.going to Puerto Rico just to see this man play Alexander Hamilton again

[@hannahvance3798]

Lin is an angel

[@jennyq4979]

What a great man! I love him and will have to find a way to go to Puerto Rico to see him in Hamilton

[@clouhdsedits432]

Hes such an amazing person, i look up to him so much

[@malvarezbjj]

Amo a LinManuel ❤️

[@senehartowitz630]

Ahí con la comunista Yulin,q pena por Lin!!

[@tonyd1308]

Why don't you cool it and make your comments more constructive! instead of spewing poison!

[@davedee7521]

I hope HIS money from his stupid $800 per seat play is being used and not donations from some guy working for minimum wage. 800 per seat in a 500 seat theater is 400,000. Multiply that by 40 theaters nationwide and he's got 16,000,000. Multiply that by 5 countries with 40 theaters with 500 seats and you got 80,000,000

[@willfrost263]

multiply that by THE ACTORS HAVE TO GET PAID SOMEHOW DIPSHIT

[@andith]

Dave Dee What a poor frustrated envious hater you are! Saying that his play is not worthy means you are a poor thing since even the most intelligent person in this world has praised it so much means that you are a poor nothing hater.

[@ejtzen1345]

This is very late, but all of the proceeds from the 3 week PR run are going to relief funds oriented towards arts groups, and he’s involved in other efforts responsible for raising significantly more

[@kevinhill8193]

My God sees that minimum wage earner and He will honor his sacrifice. God is good.
