Florida resident Tony Bombin points to where the roof of his home was taken off during Hurricane Ian in 2022. Eighteen months later, his long road to recovery continues. Click the photo to watch his story.
"There's a lot of people in back of them (Red Cross). There are a lot of people that want to do good," said Tony Bombin, a lifelong resident of Charlotte County who lost his home to Hurricane Ian 18 months ago. He's still on the road to recovery, but his interaction with Red Cross volunteers in the immediate aftermath of the Category 4 storm helped him bridge the gap between despair and hope.
Tony is one of thousands of Ian survivors that turned to the Red Cross for help. His long-term recovery has had its obstacles -- his path has taken him out of state to find stable housing -- but he has never lost hope thanks to our compassionate community of supporters.
