Starfish's 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.

What Our Beneficiaries Say
“The folks in Starfish Disaster Recovery have an amazing heart and compassion for people affected by natural disasters. 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.”
Jessica Webb, Local Business Owner and Starfish Angel
After Hurricane Idalia, our North Florida community faced immense challenges- but Starfish Disaster Recovery brought hope and resilience. Their team cleared debris, tarped roofs, and ensured families had shelter, clothing, and essentials. More than physical help, they offered compassion- comforting words, hugs, and support that reminded us we weren’t alone. Starfish has truly strengthened our community, and we are deeply grateful for their incredible work.
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
