Urgent Support for Sharon & Vince: Surviving Hurricane Milto

Dear Family and Friends of Sharon and Vince,

My name is Rachelle France, and I’m Sharon’s best friend from California. Years ago, I never imagined that after helping Sharon and Vince recover from Hurricane Ian, I would once again be writing, pleading for support. As we all watch and brace for Hurricane Milton, I know Sharon and Vince are on your minds. While we’re praying for the best, the harsh reality is that this storm is likely to bring even more destruction to their area, leaving them in an even more desperate situation. Just last week, we were focused on raising funds to repair the floors and sheetrock from Hurricane Helene, which already felt urgent. But now, the need for help has become even more critical.

Sharon and Vince are no longer just seeking help to restore Serenity Bay—they now need immediate support to simply survive this storm. Vince has already missed work due to the cleanup from Helene, and with Hurricane Milton approaching, he will likely be out of work again for an extended period. They’re not just facing repair costs but are also struggling to afford basic necessities like food, supplies, and other expenses needed to get through this crisis.

The funds raised will go directly toward covering these urgent costs, such as food, water, and essential supplies for Sharon and Vince during the storm, as well as helping to repair their home and Serenity Bay once the storm has passed. Every donation will help ease the immense financial burden they are facing.

The stress they are enduring is unimaginable. Like many in the South, Sharon and Vince are facing mental, emotional, and financial devastation that is difficult to comprehend.

At this point, this GoFundMe is not just about repairs—it’s about helping them afford the essentials they need to weather the storm, with hopes for eventual restoration of Serenity Bay. As a token of their gratitude, any donation will also be credited toward a future stay at Serenity Bay once it’s restored.

Your generosity will give Sharon and Vince hope and help them survive the immediate challenges they are facing. Thank you for standing by them in this difficult time. With your support, they will rebuild, recover, and one day soon welcome you back to their beautiful island, where the dolphins play, and island time reigns.

With heartfelt thanks,

Rachelle France
