What South Apopka Residents Are Saying
“They sent stuff in the mail for our handicapped daughter, so we got a flyer about handicapped shelters from the ESE program and Lighthouse program mailing list.”
“They pulled up the carpet and brought fans in. I’m disabled. I had to throw away 5 rooms of furniture. I didn’t apply for funding. I was afraid my income would go up and they would stop my disability benefits.”
“The shelves were bare, but we bought before.”
“Long lines”
“Ace was open for a while, then it closed before the hurricane.”
“Walmart was picked bare.”
“Water was hard to find.”
“I knew where [the shelter] was but couldn’t drive and I can’t see at night.”
“I have no car and would have to go to North Park.”
