Help Joe and Bobo Find a Safe Home

Please help Joe get a camper

Dear friends, family, and compassionate strangers,

We are reaching out to you with heavy hearts to ask for your support for a remarkable man, Joe Bryant, who has faced unimaginable challenges following Hurricane Helene in Swannanoa, NC. Joe is not just a dedicated mechanic at Appalachian Tool and Machine; he’s a loving friend, a loyal family member, and a caring dog dad to his beloved companion, Bobo.

In the devastating wake of Hurricane Helene, Joe lost everything—his home, his car, and all of his belongings. With no insurance to help him rebuild, Joe is left with nothing but the memories of what he once had. The storm didn’t just take his home; it also claimed the lives of two beloved family members, leaving him with a deep sense of loss and heartache that is hard to put into words.

Currently, Joe and Bobo are living in a tent, scared that others might come and take what little remains of his life. The area is still reeling from the devastation caused by the storm, with many families facing similar challenges. Swannanoa is a community in need of healing and support, and Joe is one of its most affected residents.

We are raising funds to help Joe purchase a camper, which would provide him and Bobo with a safe and secure place to live as he navigates this difficult time. A camper would not only give him a roof over his head but also restore a sense of stability and dignity in his life.

Joe has always been there for others, lending a hand whenever he can, and now it’s our turn to help him. Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant impact on Joe's life and help him begin to rebuild.

Please consider donating to this fundraiser and sharing Joe's story with your friends and family. Together, we can help Joe find the support he needs to get back on his feet and start anew.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
