My name is Starr, and my life took an unexpected turn when Hurricane Beryl struck. The storm not only wreaked havoc on my home but also shattered my sense of security. In the days that followed, I felt overwhelmed and lost, struggling to navigate the complexities of recovery and assistance. It was during this challenging time that I realized the pressing need for better support systems for those in crisis. With the failure of FEMA to provide the necessary help, I found myself at a crossroads. I knew I had to take action, not just for myself, but for others who were facing similar hardships. This experience ignited a passion within me to create a fundraiser that would offer emergency support, community outreach, and financial guidance. I am dedicated to ensuring that no one else has to endure the isolation and uncertainty that I faced. Together, we can rebuild and create a stronger community that stands by each other in times of need.
