Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla) and First Lady Casey DeSantis are praising the help his state has received following the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Ian. In just 48 hours, the state of Florida raised more than $20 million to go toward its Florida Disaster Fund.
From more than 52 different corporations and individuals such as Tom Brady, David Rubin, and Rumble, First Lady DeSantis says the money shows how loyal people are to Florida.
“Raising more than $20 million in 48 hours for The Florida Disaster Fund is a testament to the generosity and compassion from people across Florida and the country… this funding is already being utilized by organizations in the field to help people who have been impacted by this storm. We are incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support for Florida,” First Lady DeSantis said.
Within just hours of activating the Florida Disaster Fund, over $10 million was raised from countless people and corporations.
This goes to show the support DeSantis has created by keeping his state free from liberal madness. more
Maybe because every knows it will go towards taking care of the problem at hand and not to line politician’s pockets.
well I guess even the right can politicize everything as well. I’m sure people gave bc Americans are generous, very generous.im sure if a quake hit CA, Americans would be just as generous
Just in time for our campaign ads! The GOP says thanks. Please keep sending in your cards, letters & of course those donations.
Biden will be in Florida Wednesday for his 10%.
@Stop2think
You are half right. It is an undisputed fact, based on study after study after study, that conservatives are exceedingly more generous in their charitable giving than those other guys. Feel free to speculate on why this is. My own position is that they are much more empathetic, more selfless, and more inclined to see the big picture, that when one of us suffers, we are all impacted to a degree.
But you are wrong in the implication that the motivations are purely political. Yes, human nature being what is, we are more inclined to help those from misfortunes not of their own doing, and blue states pretty much made the bed they are now sleeping in. But I would bet that if the big one hits California, with the devastation and misery commensurate with what we saw in Florida, these same donors would again open their wallets, regardless of what they think of that dope Newsom and all those blockheads that voted for him.
Whitey need not apply.
…..and Zelensky just got another 625 million in weapons and aid.
I wonder, what is the grand total Ukraine has received from the US slave-tax payer.
DeSantis needs to declare war on somebody Biden doesn’t like. Then FL can get 30 billion in aid from DC.
