Hurricane Irma Relief for Snyders
Donation protected
Hello, we're the Wilhelm family from Cape Coral, Florida. Our friends the Snyders from Everglades City, FL lost their home and possesions to flooding during Hurricane Irma.
A little about the Snyders - I (Jason) met Billy while working as a wildland firefighter in the Everglades. Billy was kind enough to take me in during my time spent working with him. Billy (Park Service), Shannon (a teacher), and their two young sons are a staple in the Everglades City community, having lived there for 12+ years, and are truly some of Florida's best people! They evacuated up north to escape the storm's wrath, only to find out Hurricane Irma's surge flooded Everglades City and their home, with water reaching their roof at times.
They are busy with applying for FEMA - while we're not exactly sure what that covers, we can imagine they will need simple everyday items - clothes and shoes for their sons (9 and 7), new household appliances, school supplies, etc.. they may need funds to help with lodging or rent while they rebuild their home, as well as "surprise" expenses and setbacks.
We are certain every little bit for them will help - and if they can't use it, they will donate to families in Everglades City and surrounding Florida areas who can.
Any funds raised will be presented to the Snyders within a week of reaching our goal. We wish to be able to give any donations to them by September 27th or sooner.
"Without a sense of caring, their can be no sense of community."
Thank you for reading and your donation.
