Help Tim and Fran rebuild what Ian destroyed

Hi, my name is Erin and many of you may know by now that my mom, Fran, and stepdad, Tim, just lost their home in Ft Myers Beach, FL due to Hurricane Ian. This was their primary residence for only a year after selling their home of over 20 years in Niles, MI to spend their winters in paradise. They have been told that their home is completely submerged in water and that likely all of their belongings are gone as well. Ironically, they were planning to head down there for the season in just a few days. We have no idea at this point if there is anything left to be salvaged or to rebuild. What I do know is that they will need help while they make their way through this unimaginable loss.

Mom and Tim have helped so many people just in my lifetime, so now it's our turn to pay it forward. I can't imagine the amount of money they may need from this point on while they figure out what to do next. Temporary lodging in FL, travel expenses, finding a new dream home and replacing all of their belongings, just to name a few. Please do what you can, if you can, and share this to anyone else that might be willing to help. All of the funds raised will go to Fran and Tim to help defray their travel and lodging costs, and, hopefully, to help them make their new dream home. We all thank you so, so much ❤️
