Update 10/7/2024

Hello everyone!

A huge THANK YOU for your initial contributions and donations! We've received an overwhelming amount of support in such a short time, and I'm incredibly grateful.

To facilitate further donations, I've set up a GoFundMe with a goal of $12,500. I'm now partnering with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes to provide supplies and assistance to families in the small communities of western NC. FCA is directly connected to local leaders in these communities, helping identify specific families affected. 100% of all donations will go directly to those impacted, which we will personally deliver.

Please join me in reaching our goal to help those in need. Even the smallest contribution can make a significant difference for those affected.

Thank you so much for your generosity!

Waking up with a heavy heart today. Spent the day with my Pinkerton brother Ky Tenpenny helping those affected by Helene. I’m at a total loss for words after seeing and hearing the personal stories of those impacted. I love North Carolina, its people, its small towns, and it truly hurts to witness the loss and damage this storm has caused so many families.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped and donated. Your contributions provided food, water, first aid kits, and cleaning supplies to Cranberry, NC—a small town in a remote area two hours outside of Asheville. Many residents are still cut off from resources as roads remain uncleared.

For those making drop-offs, please remember that there are many small towns in similar situations. Consider reaching them, even if it requires a bit more effort.

Despite the losses, it was incredible to see the waves of utility vehicles, trucks, Uhauls, and everyday people banning together, all going toward the affected areas to help. At the core this is why I love this state as it defines who we are: strong, kind people with the grit and mentality to simply dig in and help when needed.

If you’d like to help but aren’t sure how, let me know, as we will be heading back soon.

Pray for these people - they need your help.

Thank you once again for your generosity!
