In 2015, when Jamie Samuels founded her faith-based non-profit, SendMeMissions, she was looking to help people across the state of Florida and internationally. Then, Hurricane Ian hit.
The Hardee County Sheriff’s Office recently unveiled decals that parents like Samuels who lives in Bowling Green can adhere to the front doors of their homes and back windows of their cars.
Though SendMeMissions was well stocked with volunteers in the immediate weeks after the storm, now that a month has passed, volunteer labor has become harder to find.
