"Union Beach," by Jon Zois.

Before superstorm Sandy hit the East Coast, JON ZOIS and his girlfriend Meridith lived in this 150-year-old historic home in Union Beach, New Jersey. This is just one example of the scale of the devastation that Sandy caused across the region. “We were safe at a hotel,” Jon and Meridith wrote online after the storm, “but Hurricane Sandy destroyed our home and washed everything we own into the bay. […] We are physically fine but emotionally and financially devastated. Anything you can contribute is greatly appreciated. We’re also happy to receive prayers, reiki, good thoughts, love and any messages of support.” To help Jon Zois, go to jonzois.chipin.com/jon-and-meridiths-hurricane-relief-fund.
