My condo flooded from Hurricane Helene and the damage is overwhelming. I have been doing pretty much nothing but flood-related activity since the evening of September 26, 2024. People have asked me how they can help out. This is it. Or contact me for skilled help, labor-intensive work, etc.

Money I don't use will be used to help out neighbors and other folks in the Gulf Harbors Condominium Association. Over 250 condos have flooded. If you donate, I would be happy to provide a full accounting of the funds. I never like to ask for help, but I am humbled and I need to ask. My flood-related losses are substantial. Anything would be appreciated.

I am Russ Fustino. I've lived in this Gulf Harbors condo for over 20 years in New Port Richey, and it has never flooded. Helene is described as a "once in a century storm," and I certainly never want to go through a flood again.
