Starfish Disaster Recovery
Starfish Commitment to Recovery
Empowering Communities in the Wake of Disaster
At Starfish Disaster Recovery, we are driven by a simple yet powerful belief: every act of assistance, no matter how small, can significantly impact the lives of those affected by natural disasters. Inspired by the Starfish Parable, our mission is to provide immediate relief and sustainable recovery solutions to communities devastated by tornadoes, hurricanes, and floods.
The Power of One
Inspired by the Starfish Parable
At Starfish Disaster Recovery, we embody the spirit of the Starfish Parable in every aspect of our disaster relief efforts. Just like the young boy on the beach, our team members recognize the importance of individual actions in the face of overwhelming adversity. Each home we rebuild and every family we assist represents a vital step towards communal recovery from natural disasters.
Our approach is simple yet profound: focus on one task, one family, and one community at a time, ensuring that each effort makes a significant difference. This philosophy drives us to persist, regardless of the scale of the disaster, inspired by the belief that every single act of help and every single volunteer can change lives, just as the boy in the parable saved one starfish at a time.

Since they have been coming to Madison, FL, I have witnessed their love and care as they strive to assist people in many ways. Whether it be wellness checks, places to live, personal needs, property clean-up, and much more, these caring angels roll up their sleeves and work until the job is done. They are a wonderful group of volunteers who are true assets to so many.”

“In the aftermath of Hurricane Idalia, our small North Florida community faced immense challenges, but the arrival of Starfish Disaster Recovery brought a beacon of hope and resilience. Their dedicated team rolled up their sleeves and worked tirelessly, cutting down fallen trees and providing critical tarping to protect our homes from further damage. Beyond the physical repairs, Starfish offered emotional support, comforting those in distress with compassionate gestures—a simple hug or a reassuring word—proving that their mission extends far beyond just restoration. By rescuing individuals from the wreckage of their homes and ensuring they reached safe shelters with clothing and essentials, Starfish has woven a tapestry of community support that strengthens us all. Each act of kindness and every helping hand has shown us that we are not alone in this journey, and we are profoundly grateful for the incredible work they have done to uplift and empower our town in this time of need.”
Cathy Cooley, Homeowner and Starfish Angel
“After the devastating F4 tornado that hit Rolling Fork on March 24, 2023, I had the privilege to meet and work alongside Sher Alloway for several weeks after the tornado hit Rolling Fork. She was a tremendous blessing to our community. She demonstrated a servant’s heart. She stayed here in Rolling Fork to help us for several weeks after all the other groups had left. She was instrumental in feeding people, debris removal, etc.”
Britt Williamson, Tornado Survivor and Pastor of First Baptist Church of Rolling Fork, MS
