Join Us to Restore Hope After Hurricane Helene

This GoFundMe campaign is dedicated to supporting the relief efforts following the devastating destruction caused by Hurricane Helene. The hurricane has left millions in the Weaverville, Asheville, Woodfin, Black Mountain, and Swannanoa areas in desperate need of essential supplies like food, water, clothing, gas, and other basic necessities for survival.

The photo you see was taken of our family, the Fav-Three, after we found refuge at First Baptist Church in Mars Hill, North Carolina. It captures a moment of resilience amidst the chaos, reminding us of the strength of community in times of crisis. Your generosity can help us rebuild and restore hope to those affected. Thank you for considering a donation to this vital cause. Together, we can make a difference any thing would be greatly appreciated.
