My name is Jasmine, and I’m starting this GoFundMe for my sister, Illissa and her family of four that was impacted when Hurricane Lala hit, and the flooding changed everything in just a short amount of time.

The flash flood waters rose quickly and flooded her property, causing serious damage to her home. The water ruined flooring and harmed many personal belongings that she and her family relied on every day. In the middle of trying to cope with what was lost, Illissa is also caring for their young son, who is about two years old. When you’re raising a toddler, a safe and comfortable home is more than a convenience, it’s essential.

This GoFundMe will be for immediate and urgent needs to help them get through these hard times.

Illissa is a caring, hardworking person who always puts her family first. Seeing her and her family face this is heartbreaking, and I’m hoping we can come together to help her take the next steps toward rebuilding. With support from friends, family, and community, she can focus on healing and getting her home back to something warm and livable for her child.

Any donation, no matter the size, will help make a real difference. If you can’t donate, sharing this GoFundMe and keeping Illissa’s family in your thoughts still means so much. Thank you for reading and for helping during this difficult time.
