Laurie O'Neill, my close friend of many years, her significant other, and their 2 pups have lost everything as a result of Hurricane Helene flooding in St. Pete Beach, FL.

Those of you who know Laurie also know that she is usually with us on the other side of the storm, responding to hurricane-affected areas with NDMS, DMAT, so this is particularly devastating. If you can help out, great! And please forward to anyone you know who may want to directly help someone affected by the storm. Anything helps! If you can't donate, then please keep them in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you!!
