Support Shanell's Family in Their Time of Need

Donation protected
Hi everyone,

I'm reaching out on behalf of my cousin Shanell, her husband Brett, and their two beautiful children, Bayla and Caspian. They live on Anna Maria Island, Florida, where Shanell has built a small business, Beach Sand Babe Jewelry, creating stunning pieces inspired by the ocean. Tragically, Hurricane Helene recently struck their home, leaving them with nothing. The storm destroyed their house, Shanell’s jewelry studio, and even the local stores where she sold her work.

They have lost everything: their home, their livelihood, and the community spaces that were a central part of their lives. Despite this devastation, they are determined to rebuild. But they can't do it alone.

We are asking for your help to give this loving family the chance to get back on their feet. The funds raised will go towards rebuilding their home, replacing essential items, and helping Shanell re-establish her jewelry business. Every donation, no matter the size, will help them take one more step towards recovery.

Shanell, Brett, Bayla, and Caspian are incredibly grateful for any support you can offer. Please share their story if you can, and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping them find hope after this storm.
