Summary

My family and I have called Fort Myers home for more than a decade. Although we evacuated ahead of Hurricane Ian, the devastating effects from the storm are very personal to us, as many of our friends, neighbors and family have suffered damage and loss. Today on Fearless, I am sharing a bit of the personal side of what I have experienced first-hand after Hurricane Ian and how Samaritan’s Purse and the Billy Graham Rapid Response Team are serving in my hometown.
