Hurricane Milton Florida Appeal

After receiving many messages throughout today asking us for a challenge to help the Florida residents rebuild after the once in a generation hurricane Milton, we have used ideas from customers suggestions to create this challenge.

We will donate 100% of the profits to the American Red Cross. https://www.redcross.org/

Milton made landfall near Siesta Key, a barrier island off the state’s west coast, and crossed the entire Florida Peninsula, leaving more than 3 million customers without power, dropping more than a foot of rain and spawning numerous tornadoes. The third hurricane to hit Florida this year, Milton follows on the heels of Hurricane Helene, bringing devastation to the region for the second time in two weeks.

The American Red Cross is working nonstop alongside our partners to support the 83,000 people who took refuge in Florida evacuation shelters Wednesday night as Hurricane Milton slammed into the beleaguered state. It will be days before there is a full picture of the devastation left behind.

As Floridians struggle with the new damage from Milton, the Red Cross is working tirelessly in the Carolinas, Georgia and Tennessee to provide shelter, food, water, relief supplies and comfort to those still coping with the unimaginable destruction left behind by Hurricane Helene. The Red Cross has been helping people since this onslaught of devastating weather began and will be supporting people in the weeks and months to come.

Please note that the medal has been designed today, and will have to be manufactured, so a delivery time of 3-4 weeks is given.
