Rebuild our home and businesses in Historic Cortez Village

Historic Cortez Village Flood and Fire. For the past 2 months, we've been living in an RV on our driveway, trying to get our home and two businesses back to livable and workable conditions.

Now this FIRE! Hurricane Heleen and Milton flooded our home and both businesses with 4 feet of water. We were able to get our businesses back to being somewhat workable, but the house requires more work. We are living in an RV on our driveway.

This morning, a fire erupted on the Boat Repair side and destroyed the building as well as the contents. Our insurance company canceled our homeowners insurance 2 years ago due to our location; we've been unable to acquire insurance, and FEMA has been of no help.

We are asking for donations to help demo the building and rebuild the shop, and replace the thousands of dollars of tools. We still have the house to re-sheetrock and replace the electrical. We were trying to rebuild after the hurricanes on our own, but this fire is just too much.
