About Our Charity
Our organization emerged from the heart-wrenching devastation wrought by Hurricane Helene, a storm that left Anna Maria Island submerged and its community in turmoil. The impact of the hurricane was immense, with 100% of single-family homes experiencing severe flooding, streets turned into rivers, and businesses facing unprecedented challenges. Lives were disrupted, and the need for immediate support became glaringly evident.
Amidst this chaos, our founder, Tracy Thrall, witnessed the overwhelming fallout firsthand. Moved by the plight of his fellow community members, Tracy took decisive action. He personally donated thousands of his own money, recognizing that immediate financial assistance was crucial for those who had lost their livelihoods. His vision was clear: to create a fund that would provide critical support to those in dire need, helping them rebuild and recover.
Thus, the Service Industry Relief Fund was born. Our mission is to offer a lifeline to those affected by the hurricane, ensuring they have access to the resources necessary to navigate this challenging time. We are actively gathering applications from individuals and families who need assistance, aiming to provide swift and efficient relief.
At the same time, we appeal to those who are in a position to help. We invite donations from compassionate individuals and organizations who share our commitment to restoring hope and stability to Anna Maria Island. Together, we can make a tangible difference, helping to rebuild lives and foster resilience in the face of adversity.
