Help Natasha recover from Hurricane Ian

Donation protected
Hello ☀️ I just survived a direct hit from Hurricane Ian on September 28th in Iona, Fort Myers, Florida. I am looking for anything to help me get a driveable vehicle, emergency moving costs, and still afford the necessary surgery I had scheduled. My priority is a vehicle so I can go to work and get supplies since we have been stranded.
We experienced a very significant saltwater flood that totaled my car and my parents car, flooded inside our home several feet, and damaged most of our furniture and electronics. Our cars filled with water and one floated down the street, hitting another car. These are our only vehicles and neither is driveable. We were inside our home during the entire hurricane.






We rent our home and are currently without power or running water, we are unsure how long we can stay here but do not have transportation or anywhere to move to yet. We are currently staying on the dry second floor while we recover and have been relying on the kindness of others for replenishing supplies.
I still owe over $2k on my car, and a month ago I financed $7.5k for a repair after it was undrivable for 15 months. I am currently unable to work unless I can get to the office daily or somewhere with power to work remote, I do not get any paid time off. My renter's insurance will not be covering our belongings damaged by the flood. The businesses in our area are destroyed or unable to open without extensive repairs. We've been told gasoline is nearly impossible to get. My main goal is to be able to cover my existing car payments so I can afford a replacement vehicle. That way I can get back on my feet, go to work, and get supplies. I also need to have a $1.9k oral surgery that cannot be postponed without causing serious issues, it was originally booked for October 5th.

If you are able to contribute anything at all I am incredibly grateful! I absolutely understand that not everyone can do that, and greatly appreciate every share ❤️ I am thankful we all still have our lives, my cat Tigger, and a roof over our heads for as long as we have it. Please let me know if I can answer any questions, however cell service is not reliable.
