October 13, 2018. Bozeman High School Red Cross operated shelter. Panama City, Florida

Danielle’s daughter Harper turned six months old the day Hurricane Michael made landfall. Her family evacuated on October 9, 2018 and has not returned home yet to assess the damage. This is the third hurricane her family has experienced in three years: first in Jacksonville in 2016 and again in Georgia in 2017. “This is way worse” says Danielle. “But it’s a lot easier now that we have somewhere to sleep.” As Red Cross shelter workers bring more jars of baby food to her family’s gathering of cots, she turned to her 3-year old Daughter Makinzy and said “I hope your school’s ok.”
