As many brace for Hurricane Ian, one woman from Peterborough is dropping everything to help those who may be impacted by the storm. Deborah Budney said she worked as a nursing assistant for years and loves to take care of people. Now, she's able to do that again after signing up for the Red Cross. She is bringing her support to Florida as many evacuate ahead of Hurricane Ian. “The people are so welcoming and so glad to have you here to help them,” Budney said. “And it would be the other way around if we needed the help in New Hampshire, they’d be up there in a heartbeat to help us too.”This isn't new for Budney. She's been deployed six times with the Red Cross and has helped out in Missouri, Mississippi, Louisiana and Kentucky. “You help your neighbor next door. Your next-door neighbor might live thousands of miles away, but you're still helping them,” Budney said.Budney says she's going to help set up a shelter in Astatula, Florida, which is about 30 minutes north of Orlando.She said she'll then get people inside and registered, checking any needs they have — physical or mental. "Mental health because of course this is a very stressful thing they are going through,” Budney said. “They don't know what's going to happen to their homes or their family members that are living in other parts of the state." Budney is scheduled to help for two weeks but said she usually stays longer if asked. Budney said volunteering allows her to pursue her passion.“I’m happy again, more smiles because I’m back to what I like to do, which is take care of people,” Budney said.Budney says after a disaster there's still a lot of work to be done and a lot of help needed.
