Their story

First, I didn't know how much or what to ask for...

Who would have thought that a category 2 or 3 hurricane would take a right turn straight into Fort Myers, only 2 mph under a category 5 hurricane?! Only 4 days before my 55th birthday, this is what happened...

My home in Siesta Bay RV Resort very near the eye was hit with Ian's fury, and worse... the 12 ft surge waters that filled my home up 2 ft from the ceiling,. Everything soaked in the disgusting water and muck the surge waters brought with it. 

My 1984 home was not insured due to its age.

The cabinets and walls bulged and crumbled, my wood furniture cracked, fabric furniture soaked and stained from the stenching water and muck. Electronics, appliances , photos, heirlooms, pictures/art clothing......all of it destroyed. 

My motorcycle covered by the surge, unsure if it is salvageable.

I filed with FEMA , motorcycle and my contents insurance , now waiting...

I have my job thank goodness!

I am looking for help with living costs and hopes to purchase an RV to live in so next time i can drive away to safety. It is just me and my Cat Bella. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
