It would be easy to lose hope in the situation Michelle Mastrototaro and her son, Bryce, are in right now. Its as hopeless as it is horrible.Bryce, 16, is sleeping in a Pack n Play meant for a baby. His mom is sleeping on an air mattress just feet away.I get so emotional when I think about him, Michelle said through tears. Ive devoted my whole life to him.Theres nothing she wouldnt do for her son. Shes loved and cared for him in a way few parents would understand.Bryce is autistic and blind.He just wants to be home, Michelle said with tears in her eyes. I just want to be home too.Their Port Tampa house had never flooded before in its entire 111 year history until Hurricane Helene.I was not prepared. It just keep creeping and creeping it was almost like the water just came so fast, Michelle recalled. 6.77 feet. Michelle Mastrototaro's home flooded for the first time in its 111 year historyNow, Michelle, her husband, and their children, including Bryce, are crammed into a small room upstairs from their flooded home.Most of Bryces toys and belongings, along with his moms furniture, are piled at the curb.Whats left inside their house is in bad shape too, including Bryces specialized safety bed.Ive been crying. Its just its very sad, Michelle said. Hes in a Pack n Play, because theres no room. Theres no room to cook. Its very small.And it gets worse. Michelle and her husband had no flood insurance. Its put me in a spot where, do I go, do I stay, do I not allow this to defeat me? Michelle said. I dont know what to do. I honestly dont know.But a mothers love knows no bounds, so shes playing the hand shes been dealt by Mother Nature.Each day, when shes not at work and Bryce is not at school, shes helping her blind, autistic son up and down stairs to his hopefully temporary Pack n Play and living quarters.I give him toys, you know, and hes just happy. But, he keeps asking, I want to go home. And I cant give him that answer, she said.There are no easy answers, but there is still hope.Of all the possessions Bryce and his mom lost in the flooding, they found one item completely dry and unscathed: a hat embroidered with three words.God Got Me. I put it on my mailbox, Michelle said, her voice full of emotion. I put it on my mailbox, and I said, God, please take over, because I cant do it.According to Michelle, Medicaid has approved a new safety bed for Bryce. Right now, though, they dont have a home in which to put it.
