Help Dan Deliver Supplies to NC Post-Hurricane

Hi Everyone. I’m Daniel McLean from Ithaca, NY, and I’ll be driving down to the Asheville, NC area during Thanksgiving week this year. I’ll be visiting some friends to help them with post-Hurricane Helene cleanup.

I am raising money so that I can rent a U-Haul and deliver much-needed supplies to the area. With the help of my local contacts, I have gotten good information on some local charities in need of donations. I plan to rent a truck, fill it with supplies, and distribute it to the agencies.

I work in construction and the energy field. I will be focusing on rebuilding and off-grid power. I have access to solar panels, batteries, and inverters, and will be buying gas generators and propane space heaters (winter is coming and the mountains get cold!).

In 2006, I did cleanup work in New Orleans and Mississippi post-Katrina. Basic cleanup and construction tools are like gold: bleach, spray bottles, contractor cleanup bags, saws, dust masks (mold!), and crowbars.

Please help me fill a truck with helpful things for our friends in hard-hit Western NC.

Thank you all so much!
