Monica Puig and Maria Sharapova traveled to Puerto Rico on Monday to help distribute supplies to the victims of Hurricane Maria.

Puig, Puerto Rico's first Olympic gold medalist, purchased the supplies with the proceeds from her YouCaring fundraiser, which has received over $150,000 in donations so far.

According to her YouCaring page, items included cooking stoves, propane cylinders, solar-powered lamps and medication.

"This is the first trip to come and bring help," Puig wrote. "And it certainly won’t be the last one."

The governor of Puerto Rico thanked both players for their support...

This trip came just days after Puig's run to the Luxembourg final, which she dedicated to the people of Puerto Rico.

The last time Puig and Sharapova were in Puerto Rico together (Sharapova's first-ever visit to the island) was for an exhibition 10 months ago.
