Hurricane Irma made landfall in Southwest Florida on Sunday, Sept. 10, 2017.
Some of the area's most vulnerable residents living in Immokalee, where almost half of the population lives below the poverty line and many are undocumented, were severely impacted after the storm.
Trailers, if they weren't reduced to a pile of debris, were left without roofs or walls. Some families were staying with relatives. Others, with nowhere to go, slept in tents and cars. Many stayed in their damaged trailers, often with mold growing inside from water damage.
Days after the hurricane, Immokalee residents had no power and were quickly running out of food and gas. Some families resorted to using gasoline from their cars to fuel grills to cook the last bit of food before it spoiled. FEMA housing assistance was slow to reach the area.
