Vasheda Hobbs and her three daughters’ home was destroyed by Hurricane Michael. Initially, they were able to stay with family, then found a short-term rental, but struggled to pay the high rent. Another client suggested to Vasheda that she contact the North Florida Inland LTR, so she reached out. Months later, she was selected by a review committee as one of the recipients of a new home to be constructed by AC HarvestCall. The Salvation Army covered demolition and removal of the prior structure, Capital Area Community Action Agency assisted with materials, and Chipola Baptist Association helped with furniture. On Friday, March 12, the Hobbs […]
Nowling Family
The home of William and Deserie Nowling and their three daughters was damaged beyond repair by the storm.

Additional resources from The Salvation Army, Capital Area Community Action Agency, Chipola Baptist Association helped complete […]
Nix Family
As LTR team members were assisting a neighbor, they met Mr. Willie Nix in 2019. Willie had retired from Covenant Hospice after years of service and was raising two active grandsons, ages 6 and 8. The Nix home needed extensive repairs, so Chipola Baptist Association (CBA) provided a travel trailer for them to move into until the home could be recovered. Unfortunately, due to COVID, the project was delayed and the family lived in the camper for over a year. However, AC HarvestCall took on the Nix project in early 2020, and recently welcomed the family home! North Florida Inland LTR coordinated […]

The LTR was able to connect Bob with Chipola Baptist Association, who provided a travel trailer as part of the pilot program between the Florida Dept. of Emergency Management and Calhoun and Jackson Counties. The LTR referred the case to UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief), who ultimately constructed a new home for Bob and his girls. Additional support was provided by Innovative Charities of NWFL and the LTR. […]
