F.I.S.H. on the importance of helping others post-storm

F I S H of Sanibel-Captiva has been working around the clock since Hurricane Ian devastated the islands

Officials reported that the outpouring of support from local partner agencies, national crisis groups, volunteers and donors from across the nation has been unprecedented, and F I S H cannot thank everyone enough for the continued support

“The road to recovery for our islands is going to be lengthy, but we’re so grateful to everyone for their support that allows us to continue our work,” Executive Director Maria Espinoza said

Through financial donations, grant awards and in-kind product donations, F I S H has been able to continue pro- viding assistance of all kinds to community members most affected by the storm

Officials reported that many continue to struggle with the cost of living, particularly those whose homes are uninhabitable on the islands and who had to find temporary housing until repairs or rebuilds are complete Numerous individuals have reached to F I S H for disaster related financial assistance, many of which have never had to ask for assistance before
