One month ago Hurricane Ian wreaked havoc on our neighbors in Southwest Florida when it made landfall. Entire communities were washed away, and plenty more are still trying to clean up and assess what their futures look like.
As Floridians, our hearts go out to our neighbors and we want to do everything we can to help in the wake of Hurricane Ian. To that end, we have compiled a list of organizations that are providing valuable services to help people, and animals, get back on their feet.
If you’re wondering how to help in the wake of Hurricane Ian, please consider donating to any of these organizations listed below — either monetarily, or donating time through volunteering — to help our neighbors recover, rebuild and reestablish their lives here in Florida.
We are #FloridaStrong,
Susan & Terry
