Mexico Beach, FL \u2013<\/strong> Richard and Bella recently made their first mortgage payment on their dream beach house in Mexico Beach, Florida after moving from Brunswick, Georgia in August 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just one month after moving in, Hurricane Michael came through and completely destroyed their new home. Until they can rebuild, Richard and Bella are living in their minivan parked in their driveway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Salvation Army is providing meals and water throughout this neighborhood each day,\u201d says Lieutenant Katie Bernabe, Salvation Army Officer from Maryland deployed to serve the Mexico Beach community. \u201cIt\u2019s been great to see them smile.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese people are a gift from God,\u201d says Bella. \u201cWe have been blessed by their kindness and generosity.\u201d While Richard and Bella, and their neighbors in need, work on rebuilding their homes, The Salvation Army will continue to be there serving meals and providing spiritual care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make a financial gift to help The Salvation Army continue serving men, women, and children impacted by Hurricane Michael:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
