We probably all remember going through a hurricane here. We all needed essentials badly. Because of the pandemic, many people are still trying to stay afloat but no matter how little you can share now helps us all. Please give anything you can to this fund to help the victims of Hurricane Ian. I have family (they are first responders & public servants) in this area who say that their community and surrounding areas are devastated. Any little bit helps! God bless us all. Thank you!
