Well known Irish American community member’s Long Beach home hit by Sandy

“My sister in Breezy Point had her house lifted and thrown 20 feet,” Daly says.

Luckily she had some options that not everyone in the neighborhood did.

“Well, we spent the whole week sleeping at a friend’s on Long Island who had power. We are the lucky ones,” she adds.

Meanwhile, Daly is spending days on hold with her insurance company.

“I have a bunch of things to take care of today. Eventually we have to have the insurance people come out and inspect the damage, then we have to throw out large furniture and appliances,” she said.

The list of things to do before Daly gets her life back seem daunting, but she knows what the neighborhood needs and passes this information on to anyone interested in helping.

“I think what is most needed out here now is food, water, blankets and beds for people who have nowhere to stay,” she says.
