Supporting Gail after Hurricanes Helene and Milton

Greetings All!

As we approach the end of this Campaign to Help Gail, I want to express my sincere Thanks to All for your generosity and thoughtfulness during this past Holiday season. Below is Gail's personal message to All summing up her sincere and heartfelt Thankfulness! Godspeed to All and Thanks, again!

Jim Conway

"I cannot begin to tell you what your kindness and generosity means to me. In the time of devastation when the world looked only bleak and dark without end, you stepped in and gave me something unexpected - a small light at the end of a long tunnel. You made me feel as though I was not alone and that you were willing to help me out of this darkness. I never realized how easy it is to become homeless. And with the homelessness comes so many problems. It is difficult for anyone to understand unless you have experienced it, and I would never wish it on anyone.
I will never have the home I lived in for 34 years and that is heartbreaking. And I will never have the photos and memorabilia from family and friends throughout my lifetime. So, I will have to carry all of that in my heart for the rest of my life and that will have to be enough.

Your willingness to step in and help gave me the strength I needed to move forward to deal with some of the problems associated with homelessness. I still have problems, but I am in a better place than I was before. My sister and her husband have provided a place for me to live temporarily, and that has been a God send. The money you have donated is being used to replace furniture and household items all lost in the storms and that is another God send.

The most important message I can send you is for you to understand that your willingness to help someone in times of dire need is more meaningful than anything else you might ever do in your lifetime.  I am so humbly grateful to each of you for your support."

Always, Gail

Original message:

Our friend and colleague, Gail Hamilton, has been devastated by the double hit of hurricanes Helene and Milton on the Gulf coast of Florida. Her home in Treasure Island is a total loss and she is at ground zero in terms of trying to start back up and build a new life and residence. Being a part-time resident of Florida myself and having worked and traveled with Gail over the past few years, when I saw the devastation of the hurricanes impact, I reached out and contacted her. Gail is a strong and independent woman but I asked her if we as friends and colleagues could somehow reach in and try to help her in a small way rebuild her life to which she humbly agreed.

Let’s come together at this critical time and special time of Thanksgiving for all we have and give a little of what we can to humbly help get Gail back on her feet in terms of rebuilding a home and her life.

Thank you, All !
