Help William after total flood related loss.

On Friday, September 27th, my son William lost everything he owned in the horrific rain event in Swannanoa, North Carolina. He lived a simple and idyllic life in a small cabin he called Camelot. He carefully curated his life with things that brought him joy: his guitars, piano, childhood items, art he collected from 20 years of Shrimp Festival purchases, a kitchen filled with purposeful cooking items that he collected over the years, and furniture he made or thrifted to save money. The valley he lived in had chickens, a thriving hive of bees, and a lush home garden where they grew many of the vegetables they ate, canned, and pickled. He and his friends were thrifty and smart and lived a simple life. Literally everything he owned and loved was washed away; his cabin can't be found. Musical instruments, books, clothing, bedding, journals, all gone.

His job at the local wedding venue near his home has also washed away, and the cooking job at the daycare is uncertain. Luckily, he is physically fine, and he managed to save his truck and his sweet cat Arthur. He will be leaving Asheville as soon as he can and coming back to Fernandina. Where he will eventually settle is anyone's guess. Any funds raised will be used to help Will recover and start his new life. This will help him purchase bedding, kitchen supplies, clothing, furniture, and fund relocation costs.
