Downed power lines, traffic lights out, homes and businesses destroyed, people displaced. That is the situation here in Florida after Hurricane Irma crawled up our state and into Georgia and the Carolinas. I am in Winter Haven - Polk County. The eye went directly over our county. Somehow, I slept right through it. Our power went out at 9:25 PM and with nothing to do, my son was asleep in our middle-of-the-house closet, and my husband oversaw things while I closed my eyes for what I thought would be short while. When I woke up at 4:45 AM, it seemed the storm had come and gone. Although I'm still not comfortable in my home (TECO has my power being restored on Saturday 9/16), I still have my house, my family, and my business.

Their needs simply go beyond clothing, furniture, and household goods... especially those without homes to store these items. Here are four organizations that are collecting funds that will 100% go to supporting those affected by Hurricane Irma:
