Boat Fire on the Ortega leaves senior homeless
Donation protected
Hey my name is Jennifer Smith. My mother lives, well lived on a sailboat until Wednesday November 9, 2022. She was on shore staying with friends thru TS/Hurricane Nicole. She got a call from the marina around 10am advising her that her boat was on fire down to the water and had sank. My mom is 69 years old, now homeless with 3 days worth of clothes and her cat left to her name. She did have insurance but that is going to take a minute to pay out. This money is for her to get back on her feet and a place to live. She cant stay with friends and sleep on couches forever. I would let her come stay with me, but i am in Tennessee. Please if there is anything you can do to help her would be appreciated. She only gets $1100 social security and has no vehicle just a cheap electric scooter from Amazon.
There are several videos of her boat burning on YouTube and New4Jax Instagram and Tictok. Thank you in advance for any support you can give.
