It’s been a trying time for Southwest Florida after Hurricane Ian devastated so much of our community. But while this may have been one of the worst storms many Floridians have seen in our generation, it’s been truly inspiring to see how quickly people took action to help: first responders, local businesses, individuals, organizations, and government bodies all working to respond to the crisis and help the people of SWFL recover and rebuild.
Within days of the Matlacha Bridge being destroyed, Governor Ron DeSantis announced that it had been rebuilt, and lineworkers have been working tirelessly to restore power to the area. Even online, the community has been coming together to share resources and raise money for those who lost their homes and livelihoods. Our community is truly incredible, and together we will weather the aftermath of this storm!
