SPRING HILL, Fla. (WFLA) — Brittany Creech lost everything in Hurricane Ian. Her North Port rental home was destroyed. She’s now staying with family in Spring Hill while working to put her life back together.

“Devastating. Just devastating,” she said, describing the last month.

“The things that are going to be the hardest for me are my children’s baby clothes, their drawings,” she said, recounting some of the items she lost.

Without renter’s insurance, she’s working to rebuild her life one step at a time. But as a single mother of 3 boys, she needs help.

“I just didn’t think this would happen. You never think this is going to happen to you,” she said.
