Families Still Reeling from Ian's Physical And Emotional Devastation

Oct 25, 2022

Hope after the Hurricane

It’s hard to comprehend the sheer loss in Southwest Florida unless you’ve seen it personally.

Not just homes or cars or personal belongings … but lives as well.

According to The New York Times, “Ian caused more deaths in Florida—at least 114—than any hurricane in almost 90 years.”

  • One man “in Port Charlotte died after his kayak capsized in a canal. He was searching for items lost in the flood.”

  • Another “in Fort Myers Beach became stuck in a window and drowned as floodwaters overtook his house.”

  • “A 70-year-old woman in Lee County was found in floodwaters up to her chest and taken to the hospital hours later. She had a urinary tract infection, as well as other conditions, and later died.”

Survivors of the storm are not only reeling from the physical destruction of the hurricane, but also from the emotional toll it’s taken on their families and their communities.

But there’s good news …

You can provide practical help and hope in real time—through Liberty Relief International’s on-the-ground partners—right in the middle of the worst-hit areas, where hope is hard to find.

Caring people are ministering, feeding, clothing and comforting those who are working day by day to pick up the pieces—and you can help them with your generous gift today!

As trusted short- and long-term relief partners help with debris removal, damage mitigation and distribution of water, food, hygiene supplies and more, I urge you to keep them doing what they do best: Being the hands and feet of Jesus—practically, emotionally and spiritually—after the historic devastation of Hurricane Ian.

Thank you for your Christ-like compassion for those in need.
