Hurricane Ian:
Disabled Disaster Survivors Need Your Support
Ian made landfall about 90 miles south of Tampa near Cayo Costa, an Island off the coast of Ft. Myers.
Ian wreaked havoc across much of Florida. Storm surges reportedly reached as high as 18 feet as buildings were flattened, and houses washed away. Hundreds are feared dead.
Approximately, 1.2 million people with disabilities in Florida have been impacted by Hurricane Ian.
More than 10,000 people are in shelters across Florida and over 2 million people are without power - with the understanding these numbers may not give the true reality of the situation on the ground.
