Dear Friends and Family,

We are reaching out to you on behalf of Tanner and Madison Johnston, a wonderful young couple who have recently experienced a devastating loss. As many of you know, Hurricane Debby struck Gulfport, FL, with unrelenting force, leaving destruction in its wake. Unfortunately, Tanner and Madison's sailboat, which had been their dream, was destroyed in the storm. Our hearts, prayers and condolences go out to the family and friends of the gentleman who lost his life in the storm. We are extremely grateful that so many were spared from physical harm.

For the past few years, Tanner and Madison have poured their time, energy, effort, and savings into their sailboat. It wasn't just a vessel; it was their ticket to a life of adventure and freedom on the open water.

The sheer power of the storm was overwhelming. Their boat was irreparably damaged and is a total loss. Within hours, they lost personal belongings, cherished memories, and the sense of security they had built around what would have been their floating home. While their insurance will cover liability and safe removal, replacement cost is not covered.

Tanner and Madison are now facing the enormous task of recovery and rebuilding from the ground up. They are resilient and hopeful, and like many of us, can use the help of others even though they will not ask for themselves. The financial burden of this type of sudden loss is immense, and the costs associated with starting over can be overwhelming.

Many of you have asked how you can help....

Pray: Please pray specifically for God to bless Tanner and Madi with the resources they need, open the right doors at the right time, and to guide them as they recover. We are so grateful that they are safe and sound.

Give: In addition to your prayers, we are asking for your support to help Tanner and Madi with a jumpstart on their road to recovery. Your donations will go directly towards helping them with future housing, replace essential belongings, and begin the long process of rebuilding their dream.

Share: Every little bit helps, and even if you are unable to contribute financially, sharing this campaign with others is greatly appreciated and can make a huge difference.

Tanner and Madi have tremendous servant hearts and have always been the first to lend a hand to others in need, and now they need our help. Please participate and share this opportunity to support this incredible couple as they navigate through this challenging time.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support.

Humble and grateful,

Alec and Ann Johnston
