ORLANDO, Fla. — A disabled Orange County woman is still waiting for huge debris piles to be cleared in front of her home more than a month after Hurricane Irma.
Cheryl Stone told 9investigates that contractors can’t move equipment around the piles to begin repairs on her home.
“Enough is enough. It's been a month now,” she said.
Stone lived along the cul de sac at the intersection of Oak Forest and Pleasant Oak Drive—but has been in a hotel since Irma after the tree that sits chopped in front of her home fell through her roof.

“I can't stay with friends with the wheelchair. I'm paraplegic because of polio as a kid and I can't get into people's houses,” she said.

A roofer told Stone that he couldn’t fit a dumpster through her driveway to do repairs until the debris from the tree is removed.
“I can tell from you this experience, for the first time in my life, I feel disabled. I don't understand that feeling; I've never had it before,” she said.
