Support Alex & Ryan (& families) after Hurricane Helene!

Hurricane Helene has hit many parts of the southern states. It's hard to watch the news and see pictures of so much destruction and not know how to help from afar. I know I want my dollars to go directly to the people who need it the most. Right now, our friends Alex and Ryan (and their families) need our support! Bandmates and best friends since college, Alex and Ryan are partners in the band, River Whyless, and also business co-owners. When they aren't touring, they run The Hive Collective , an experimental tiny home rental company that features custom-built and beautifully designed homes on the side of a mountain in Asheville, NC. Four families live and work on this land. The road to access their homes was DESTORYED by the hurricane. They cannot access their homes, they cannot run their rental business. They are safe and crashing at friends. Let's help out our friends and their families! All of your dollars will go straight to Alex and Ryan, so they can address their IMMEDIATE needs. This is the time when we need to show up for our friends. All of your dollars will go straight to these people you know and love. Consider contributing any amount! (I am a friend of Alex's and have permission to start this GoFundMe for him and his friends. I met Alex in the Warren Wilson College's MFA Program for Writers. He's a fiction writer, I'm a poet; somehow we're still friends, who cares about genre anyway. He makes me laugh, and I'm so sad to see the aftermath of this hurricane. The impact will reverberate for YEARS to come.)
