PUNTA GORDA, Fla.–Gov. Ron DeSantis launched a donation portal on Feb. 22 following news that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) denied southwest Florida tornado victims recovery aid.
“We cannot continue waiting on the federal government to provide relief to these Floridians,” DeSantis said in a Feb. 22 press release. “After meeting with survivors last week, it’s clear they still need our help.”
