Four months after Ian and there is still so much need. However, there is still a lot of help being offered. Thanks to the generosity of so many people, today (January 31st) there is even more. There are several distribution sites opening at 10am with free dry wall and mattresses post Hurricane Ian.
It's quite possible your home looked like the picture above following the storm on September 28th. You know some supplies have been hard to come by. Next, there are the prices. They continue to escalate. Finally, there is the labor. It is also in high demand and depending on what you need, short supply. If you still need work done, please be sure to check the credentials of the contractors and workers who say they can do the work. You already survived one tragedy. You don't need to deal with the tragedy of shoddy work and scam artists too.
We will do what we can to connect you with people, organizations and events to help in recovery. Hopefully this will help a little bit if you are still putting your home back together. Thanks to Global Empowerment Mission for making it happen.
