First and foremost, our hearts go out to our friends across Florida and along the East Coast who were devastated by Hurricane Ian. It proved to be a record-breaking storm, impacting communities across the state. For those interested in helping, consider donating to the Florida Disaster Fund, the State of Florida’s official private fund established to assist Florida’s communities as they respond to and recover during times of emergency or disaster 💜
