Help several Maniacs affected by Hurricane Helene and Milton

Here is a view into the home of one of our Maniacs after hurricane Helene, which is why we are coming together to raise funds for the employees who have been profoundly affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. Overnight, 10 of our staff were severely affected by Hurricane Helene. Each one of them lost everything they owned or almost everything, facing unimaginable hardship. Some have had to turn to family or friends for shelter, while others are left without any resources at all. Only a week after the destruction of Helene - our staff faced another devastating blow from Hurricane Milton pushing them back to square one, and for some - into even worse condition.
