Hurricane Ian Survivors and Helpers
/
STRENGTH, FAITH & RESILIENCY
Hurricane Ian Storm Survivors
Response teams know, first hand, how especially hard natural disasters are on vulnerable members of the community. WINK News recently covered the impact of Hurricane Ian on the Benedettis, one of the many Island Park residents that Inspiritus' Disaster teams helped in response to Hurricane Ian. The couple decided to stay home and wait out the storm as the wife had just completed surgery.
Their experience reminds us how challenging it is for some people to evacuate, including elderly, medically-fragile and under-resourced individuals, not to mention, the daunting task of navigating the devastation, needs and resources after a storm hits. Their story reflects the strength, faith and resiliency that many Survivors learn to lean into in the wake of vast loss and destruction.
UPLIFTING UNSUNG HEROES
Disaster Volunteers
Basecamp meals are essential to uplifting hard working volunteers before and after each workday... Rex Rothrock, knows this well. Through his family foundation, Rothrock Foundation, Rex passionately helps Disaster Survivors by making sure volunteer responders are well fed and nourished, in body and soul.
After a disaster hits, Rex joins in service with Inspiritus' Disaster teams and camps in the volunteer basecamp for weeks and even months on end, when he is able. We are incredibly grateful for his commitment to helping disaster survivors and supporting the volunteers that give so much of their time, talent and hearts in service to individuals that need it the most.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
DONATE
Donate to Inspiritus: The more funding we raise, the longer our teams can stay on the ground continuing to help homeowners impacted by the Hurricane. Your support will provide free debris removal, muck & gut services and water purification to help families affected by the storm, especially those who can't recover without help.
VOLUNTEER
This work would not be possible without hundreds of HEROIC volunteers, and supporters like you.
Prayerfully consider joining us in Fort Myers, FL now through November 23. We especially need Team Leads to guide volunteer groups with Muck & Gut and Debris Removal, but all hands are welcome, and all skills can be helpful. Please call the Volunteer Hotline at (239) 560-1554 or visit www.WeInspirit.org/drvolunteers to learn more.
