Claudia is a resilient single mom from Punta Gorda who is rebuilding her life after unimaginable challenges. After losing her fiancé and her father in the same year, she’s poured her heart into raising her 4-year-old daughter, providing her with a safe, loving home. Following consecutive years of devastating hurricanes, Claudia's home suffered significant damage. Hurricane Ian initially destroyed her home and possessions. After rebuilding her daughter's room, Hurricane Helene struck, leaving them once again without a home. The subsequent impact of Hurricane Milton brought severe flooding, to make matters worse. Community Foundation of Sarasota County's Suncoast Disaster Recovery Fund is making a tangible difference in the lives of individuals like Claudia. Through their support, we are able to start critical home repairs, such as the installation of new drywall. RTTB is working side-by-side with Claudia to navigate additional funding through the SHIP/HHRP (Hurricane Housing Recovery Program), ensuring we can effectively assist in the rebuilding of her home. Claudia’s story reminds us how vital it is to come together for families in need. If you or someone you know needs help repairing their home, we’re here to assist. #RebuildingTogether #HurricaneRelief #CommunitySupport #TampaBay #RebuildLives
