I am born and raised here. These back to back storms are terrifying even for me.
I LOVE my home state and know how much some of us can come together and support each other in these hard times. We can be strong and get through this together. Show the country why Florida is so badass because we can overcome anything.
Remember to be kind and spread love not hate.

If you have elderly neighbors who may be alone and without a support system, please let someone know about them. Many of those who lost their lives in Helene were over 80 years old and likely did not have the ability to leave. I'm so proud to live in the great state of Florida where people care about one another no matter which group they fit into or not.
