As Hurricane Ian flooded Naples, Florida, one man went to rescue his 86-year-old mom from her home after she had refused to evacuate.
“She said the water was up to her wheelchair and hitting her belly button,” Lauder said. He was sheltering at his son's house, a half mile from his mom.
He put her on a table and bundled her in dry sheets from a high shelf. He worried about the sores around her body — open wounds that were dangerously susceptible to infection in the bacteria-ridden floodwater. Around 1 a.m. — about 11 hours after Lauder's mother called him for help — Lauder returned to his older son's house with his mother and younger son in tow.
Cassandra Clark, Lauder's sister-in-law in Miami, started a GoFundMe to raise money for Lauder, his mother and his sons.
