This Real Housewife is making a real difference.

Bethenny Frankel has stepped up in the wake of worldwide devastation.

The 46-year-old Real Housewives of New York City star ventured to Mexico last week to aid victims of the recent 7.1 magnitude earthquake, and now she’s sharing her goodwill with the people of Puerto Rico.

Frankel chartered multiple planes to send needed goods to the survivors of Hurricane Maria, including medical supplies, food, diapers, toys, insulin, and thousands of dollars in gift cards.

“This is a forgotten island,” she told People of the harrowing scene in Puerto Rico. “People have been living on their roofs for 13 days. It is like nothing I have ever seen. People’s entire homes and cars are immersed in mud, the likes I’ve never seen.”

#THISISACRISIS Please look at this person's home. They're living here right now with a diabetic family member and no water to clean away the mud. #100percent #BStrong Donate at: http://www.bstrongdeliveringgood.org/bstrong/

People are starving, without proper medication and living in mud and debris. Babies are being washed in the streets. People grabbing at the trucks for anything they can find to help their families. These people need your help. Please donate at http://www.bstrongdeliveringgood.org/bstrong/ #100percent #BStrong #thisiscrisis

#workingforyoupuertorico We got a 4th plane headed to PR and working on a 5th! I'm bringing $25k in Costco gift cards, $25k in cash gift cards and approximately 15k lbs of food, water and medical supplies. With the planes return we will be able to transport PR citizens stateside to get medical attention. #Bstrong #100percent #thisisacrisis

It should be noted that the Real Housewives star and entrepreneur is still recovering from a surgery she had to remove skin cancer from her face late last month.

UPDATE: As of Oct. 4 afternoon, Frankel confirmed that the team has wrangled more than 10 planes to aid the victims.

We commend you for your continued efforts, Bethenny, and we’re sure the people of Mexico and Puerto Rico do too.
