Rebuild Lori Ann's Life After Dual Hurricanes

Dear friends & family,

Over the last few weeks, my mother, Lori Ann DeStefano, and I have been deeply affected by Hurricane Helene & Milton hitting our community in Punta Gorda, FL. When Hurricane Helene hit landfall on September 26th, the intense storm surge flooded my mom's home, destroying everything from furniture, refrigerator, oven, washer/dryer, clothes, TVs, food, personal belongings, and her vehicle. We worked endlessly to save as much as possible and clean her home in an attempt to make it a livable environment again, but Milton had different plans for us. Hurricane Milton hit the area on October 9th and flooded our home even higher and worse than the first time; ripping up the floorboards, walls warped/caving, and being filled with sewer water. After losing everything, we are asking for help from our loved ones through this difficult time to assist in the cost of finding a new home, new vehicle, and overall rebuilding our lives. Any amount, big or small, is greatly appreciated and will go toward recovering from this disaster. Thank you SO MUCH in advance!
