Help Fund Student’s Loss of Car From Helene

Help Us Recover from a Flooded Car

Dear Friends and Supporters,

I never imagined I would be writing this, but here I am, reaching out for help after a devastating storm hit Boone, NC, on September 27. What started as a typical rainy day quickly turned into a nightmare as heavy downpours caused flash flooding in our area.

As a college student at Appalachian State University, my car is essential for getting to classes and work. When the storm hit, I tried to move my car to higher ground, but it was too late. The streets quickly became submerged, and despite my efforts, my car was engulfed by the rising waters.

While the loss of my car is heartbreaking, I am grateful that my friends and I are all okay. We were fortunate to be safe, but now I face the reality of replacing my reliable companion that has been there for me through so much.

The financial burden of this loss is something I cannot manage alone, and I’m reaching out for your support to help me get back on my feet. Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in my life.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story.

Sincerely,

Garrett Katowitz
