The RV they’re staying in for the time being after Hurricane Ian. (CREDIT: WINK News) Even though Lori and Andy are locals, their story traveled internationally to a few kids who baked cupcakes. “We have a friend and a co-worker who has a sister in Amsterdam, they heard about the news,” the couple said. “So they called her and asked if there’s anybody they could help out here. Our name was given to him. So they had this big bake sale in Amsterdam.” The kid’s bake sale raised $850 for Lori and Andy. They told WINK News they’re going to use the money to start making repairs on their home.
