You are so right, few people know what you have been thru. I enjoyed reading your story. I put things into perspective. My daughter and I bought some supply items and sent them to Panama City by a local school. We have often wondered if they reached those most needy. I sure hope so’ small amount that it was. In Jackson County, where do you take supplies?

This storm was personal to our family, as my in-laws lost their home in Panama City.
Just a minor hint, take some of the solar rechargeable outdoor lights and place them thru out the house at night…it helps.

Is there a need for shoes, clothes, towels, bedding, or other? I thought Ivan was the worst ever…….Eleven days without electricity or water. And, a yard that looked like ground zero at Hiroshima. Then, there was Katrina. I met many of the evacuees, and read of Charity Hospital where I attended school for 3 months, now closed. I did not see how any storm could be worse. Now, this. My heart goes out to you. Are there any specific needs that you know of now, that ordinary individuals can help with? I’m sure many more would help with some specifics, if they knew what they were. Maybe even adopt certain people or families that are truly legit. Unfortunately, there are always scammers. Perhaps if more of us knew of more of your needs and specifics, more folks could be of more help. You all are in my heart and prayers and those of many more, I am sure. Time goes by, many forget, so please keep us mindful of what is happening in your world. Thanks for the article.

Our prayers are with you daily! We went thru Ivan, but like you said this was nothing compared to what you are going through! Besides electricity, running water and Netflix, what are the main items that are needed in your area? I know gas is a big item, blankets, small heaters (getting cool at night). If you can give ideas as some are still trying to help! God Bless!
