‘I want to cry:’ Bokeelia woman gets JROTC help to clean home after hurricanes

Sometimes we forget that some of you are still cleaning up after Hurricanes Helene and Milton.

However, some JROTC cadets at Mariner High School haven’t forgotten. They dedicated part of their weekend to cleaning up a volunteer’s home in Bokeelia.

JROTC cadets at Mariner High School helped clean a home that got severely damaged by the recent storms.

Those cadets met with The Greater Pine Island Alliance to clean up flood damage on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

They did everything from sweeping to mopping to cleaning. It’s part of their community service project.

Cadets told FOX 4’s Victoria Scott the goal is to make the house livable again.

“This is a local community that needs it,” said First Battalion Commander at JROTC Mariner High School Andy Seeley. “They got hit by two hurricanes now. One of our members Leslie over here, she’s been giving back to the community rather than helping herself right now. We are here to help her get back to her normal life.”
