Julie, Jeff, and their son Gage are the kind of people who quietly make the world better. They volunteer at the Manatee County animal shelter, foster dogs in need, and never hesitate to lend a hand to those around them.

My name is Anna Passalaqua, I live in Bradenton, FL, and I've known Julie for many years. She is a true friend—one of the kindest and most genuine people you'll ever meet. We worked together at a bank in Florida and became friends almost immediately.

Now, after Hurricane Helene swept through SW Florida, they need our help. Their home was flooded, leaving their furniture and appliances destroyed.

Please consider donating—anything helps them rebuild and recover from their loss. All funds will go to Julie and her family. Your support will mean the world to this incredible family who has given so much to others.
