Leslie's Journey: Rising from the Ashes

On June 2nd, tragedy struck when a devastating fire consumed Leslie’s home in Bayside Estates of Fort Myers Beach, leaving nothing behind but ashes and heartbreak. In a matter of moments, she lost everything — her belongings, memories, and the place she called home. Thankfully, she is safe, but the road ahead to rebuild will be long and difficult.

Leslie needs our support more than ever as she starts from scratch — finding a new home, vehicle, replacing basic necessities, and beginning the overwhelming process of rebuilding her life.

Every donation, no matter how small, will go directly toward replacing what was lost. If contributing a meal, gift card or clothing is the contribution you would like to make, she would be so very thankful for anything.

Let’s show Leslie that she’s not alone — that her community stands with her, and that together, we can help her rise from this. It truly takes a village!

From the bottom of my heart, thank you! ♥️
