At 82 years old, Josie (pseudonym to protect client identity) of Port St. Lucie faced a daunting challenge when Hurricane Milton’s tornado tore through her neighborhood, leaving her mobile home severely damaged. For Josie, the destruction wasn’t just about property—it was the loss of the comfort and security she had built over decades.
Thanks to the Disaster Recovery Program at Catholic Charities, and the dedicated support of her case manager, Connie Williams, Marilyn’s home is once again safe and secure. With funding from Catholic Charities USA, our team helped cover costs to repair her roof, ensuring she could return to her home with peace of mind and dignity.
Josie’s story is a powerful reminder of how compassionate, community-driven support can help seniors and vulnerable populations recover from natural disasters. Catholic Charities remains committed to helping those in crisis rebuild their lives, one home at a time.
