My name is Coach Travis Mash. My best friend KJ and I are raising funds to help our hometown in Western, NC (Ashe County in the Blue Ridge Mountains). Hurricane Helene absolutely crushed our beautiful home. My uncle's home was completely washed away. People are stranded without food or water. I am taking supplies to them daily starting 3p tomorrow. If you can help, there are thousands that will be thankful.

We are raising funds for the Ashe Food Pantry a nonprofit that is trying to feed the people left homeless from the storm. I live in Hickory, NC where the storm hit, but nothing like the damage left in its path in the mountains. Our entire family, minus our immediate ones, resides in those mountains: my mother, my sister, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends from school. We were born and raised in those beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, so as you can imagine, our heart is ripped in half.

Homes are completely destroyed. Entire communities are completely wiped off the face of this earth. Babies are starving, and mothers are left helpless. Please, if you can help them, they/I will forever be grateful.

Go Fund Me is asking that I specifically include the following:

I am Travis Mash and my best friend KJ Jones.

The money is for Ashe Food Pantry.

The money will be spent to feed the folks left homeless and/or without electricity.

The exact town is West Jefferson, NC and surrounding communities of Ashe County, NC.

I live in Hickory, NC. I will be delivering supplies as well.
