My name is Anthony Robbins. Years ago, I found my soul while fly fishing in beautiful mountain rivers and streams including the rivers across Alaska. Today, we call Western North Carolina our home for many of the same reasons: the beautiful rivers and streams; the gorgeous Blue Ridge Mountains and Great Smoky Mountains; and the wonderful people and communities.

Western North Carolina has been hit hard by Hurricane Helene leaving families displaced, homes destroyed, and communities struggling to recover. The people in this region need our help and we want to do what we can to make a difference.

How are we related to the communities we are raising funds for?

We live in Hendersonville, NC!

How the funds will be spent?

Your donation will be used to provide:

Emergency supplies: Food, water and basic necessities for displaced families.

Rebuilding efforts: Providing tools for volunteers for recovery, especially chainsaws. We plan to buy 50 + STIHL chainsaws - 18, 20, 25 and some 36 inch bars. In addition, we're buying shovels, rakes, axes and tools.

Provide temporary power via portable generators. Currently we're buying Generac 6500 generators. We expect to field as many as 20 +, and start buying smaller ones as well.

What are our transfer plans to get the funds from the GoFundMe account to the affected communities?

We are buying all items noted above from North Carolina businesses. We are personally delivering all items to affected communities. We have receipts for every dollar spent, and pictures of the donation activity.

Every dollar helps and 100% of your donation will go toward aiding recovery efforts.

Please donate and share this campaign to help our community rebuild and recover.

Together we can make a difference.

Christie and I thank you for your support.
