Help Rich and Jeanette Rebuild Their Home

My name is Paula Minnick. I am reaching out to make an effort to help my friends Rich & Jeanette Cornell, whose home was destroyed on Thursday evening, September 27th, 2024, from Hurricane Helene. Helene brought catastrophic surge waters into Rich & Jeanette's home and so many others.

Although they prepared for 2 days prior and did everything they could before they evacuated, the storm surge waters took over their house. Toxic debris & saltwater entered into their house from all directions, destroying their furniture, clothing, bedding, and all their appliances.

They were able to get their car & van to her parents' house, along with their dog Quincy, and they are safe.

Rich Cornell is a retired NYPD officer who dedicated most of his life to helping others. Jeanette Cornell is a part-time employee at my Publix, and she herself has given back to her community.

They did not have flood insurance. The financial burden of rebuilding their home & lives I can only imagine is extremely challenging.

I am asking for your support to help Rich & Jeanette rebuild their house in Dunedin, Florida.

All money donated will directly benefit Rich & Jeanette to rebuild their home. Supplies like drywall, kitchen cabinets, appliances, bathroom fixtures, interior & exterior doors, etc.

Every donation, no matter how small, will help them.

Thank you for your generosity & kindness. Coming together, we can help Jeanette & Rich start to rebuild their lives.
