Dear friends and community,

As many of you know, my home in East Tennessee has recently faced devastating flooding, leaving countless families and individuals in dire need of assistance. Homes have been damaged, belongings lost, and the road to recovery will be long and challenging.

We are coming together to raise funds that will directly support those affected by this disaster. Every dollar will go towards providing essential supplies, temporary housing, and recovery resources to help our neighbors rebuild their lives. Your generosity can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those struggling during this difficult time. The USN has allowed me a break in my duties to go assist friends, family, and the community. I'm currently headed that way with supplies and plan on making trips in and out of the area to gather what's needed.

Thank you for your support and compassion. Together, we can help East Tennessee heal and recover.
