This Women is one of the most optimistic and humble individual I have ever seen! Literally out of a terrible destructive situation for nearly everyone on those islands I didn’t hear anything besides “This isn’t that bad” “It could have been much worse and it is for others” and she had a smile on her face as well! Really nice to see that 😊

I am so Grateful she found some of her family heirlooms intact and ok. I loved her hope and optimistic attitude toward her home

Bless her as she begins a new journey walking in faith and gratitude.

After finding that she had 3 feet of water in her home and she was able to leave with a smile and optimism! That’s something to admire as most of us couldn’t do that. We also had Hurricane Ian in New Smyrna and many had terrible flooding in their homes that were up to almost 5 feet. Can’t even imagine. We lucked out with a lot of flooding in our streets that turned into rivers but our home was high enough the water got to our back door!

Bless her and everyone else in Florida who is rebuilding after Ian. She is so optimistic, I almost feel over when she said “oh wow its not that bad the water only came up 3 feet.” She turned everything into a positive. ❤

Bless you, Anne-Marie.

Thank you for showing the truth of hope. Not making a rating off a tragedy. So happy for the women.

That’s amazing that the art survived.

This is how I felt when I walked into my home. It was a disaster but I was so much better off than most. She and I are lucky our homes are cinderblock and made for FL. 🌴🌞

Praying for her and the others that suffered so much lose.

wow, this lady is one of the very lucky one's, she'll be able to recover so very much of her family possessions. Furniture...most of that can be replaced. Family mementos - photos, even some books, can be conserved if the time and effort is done to recover them... in some cases. Best of luck to all from the Ian storm path.

Yay! Some happiness from what turned so much upside down 😃

What an amazing attitude! Glass half full. Stay positive and things will always work out.
