“We waited and we didn’t hear anything back from them for months and months
Leeshanta and Granville Harvey have repaired the damage to their home by hand and out of their own pocket.MARIANNA, Ala. - The Harveys have lived in Marianna for years. It’s where they chose to lovingly raise their family of four. Then Hurricane Michael changed everything.
In an effort to find financial assistance, Leeshanta started searching for programs that could help when a family member told her about Rebuild Florida. That is until a roadblock stopped the journey. “They actually told my wife through email that we needed to have the hot tub that’s in the rear moved out of the house on our own,” said Granville. That request meant the Harveys had to dismantle the sliding glass door next to the tub and, according to Granville, cut it just enough for the hot tub to go under it and roll out to the yard in the back.
