LEE COUNTY, Florida. Just a few days before Hurricane Yen hit the community of Fort Myers, a 6-year-old who loved coconuts decided to paint one of them light blue. When Hurricane Yang hit Cocos, it was tossed and beaten during the storm.
After a couple of weeks, the coconut suddenly sprouted. After she found her coconut, she wanted to give it to someone who lost their trees during Yen’s time.
A six-year-old girl gave her coconut to a crew member at a resort on Lani Kai. The little girl’s grandmother says that their family grew up in Lani Kai Resort, and this is a special place close and dear to their hearts.
