Hi, my name is Chris Jochem. I live in Illinois and my family has been affected in Sarasota, Florida by major flooding. The house they were renting is currently under water. My mom Mary, stepdad Tim, sister Lauren, brother-in-law Zane, and their two kids Quinn and Jaxon, aged 7 and 9, have lost all of their belongings and have had to seek temporary shelter with close friends. I am asking for help for them to find a new home and replace their belongings.

The money raised will be used for cloths, furniture, kids lost items and all essential items needed to live an everyday life. They have worked hard their entire life and this was an unforeseen event. They had to be evacuated by the Sarasota Fire Department by airboat. I am praying for them every day that their needs can be met with the devastation this storm has created. Any help is appreciated, even as little as $5. They have many challenges ahead and this will help them recover faster. Thank you in advance for your help! I will post progress being made.
