Hurricane Milton affected a lot of us in Florida, but my heart breaks for my dear friend whose house was destroyed by a large oak tree. Their master bedroom, master bathroom, kitchen, and office were completely destroyed, including clothes, dishes, and everything they didn't bring during their evacuation. They are now stuck with a $6K deductible on top of finding a place to stay, replacing clothes, and other necessities while their home is restored.

Damara and I have had quite the unique friendship. We come from completely different backgrounds. She's a fashionista city girl, and I'm a country bumpkin', but we've bonded over barefoot walks in downtown Orlando, scary road trips in a Fiat, walking the ghost town of Savannah during a blackout, and now we'll be having the most epic sleepover with their family until they can find a temporary living space.

This GoFundMe will aid them in their insurance deductible, and also replace some of their immediate needs that were lost. If you are able to help, I would be ever so grateful.
