Signs of HOPE on Sanibel Island after Hurricane Ian (in Photos)

Hurricane Ian was no match for the residents of Sanibel. They are showing their strength, resiliency, and HOPE through the SIGNS they leave. 

Sanibel is slowly recovering from Ian due to the love of its people. It will return, and stronger and more beautiful than ever. 

Enjoy these signs of HOPE  from Sanibel! Looking forward to the day when we all can return to this beautiful island paradise.
