In the aftermath of the storm, the Fellowship of Christian Farmers International (FCFI) stepped in to provide tangible help and hope to those affected. One powerful example of resilience and support comes from a local elementary school principal, whose own home and property suffered significant damage. Despite personal loss, she has been actively working to clear and clean up the destruction—removing hundreds of downed trees with the help of equipment donated by FCFI.
