Aid Reyna in Overcoming Hurricane Milton

Hello all! Like so many other people in our state, we are dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Milton.

My 78-year-old grandparents, Reyna and Robert, came from Honduras in 1981 after many hardships. Reyna always dreamed of being a homeowner and officially bought their first home 7 years ago in a manufactured home community. While they both sheltered at our house during the storm, their home got pummeled. Robert is a disabled Vietnam veteran and Reyna works hard to be his full-time caregiver when she’s not working part-time at Publix.

As their home is no longer livable, they and their dog are now residing with me and my family. We are in the works of finding care for my grandfather as Reyna has too much on her plate now to take care of him full-time. Their dog has very bad diabetes and is going blind along with other aging disabilities. So on top of all this chaos, my grandmother will probably euthanize her.

All of this hardship is devastating to Reyna. Her home had a value of $139,000. If they total it out, there will only be about $40,000 from the insurance company. The expenses to repair it will definitely exceed what the insurance company would pay for it, as she completely lost their entire front porch, their whole roof will need to be repaired, half of the carport was stripped, and the front of her house has been split in half with the insulation protruding out of it.

All of that being said, my grandmother is dealing with a lot of tragedies and she will have to pay lots of money if it does or doesn’t get totaled out. Anything is helpful and greatly appreciated.
