Help Replant WildFlowers - for Rafi

Donation protected
We are reaching out to help a beloved member of our community, Rafi, owner of WildFlowers in Asheville’s River Arts District. Tragically, Hurricane Helene has completely devastated his shop, wiping away years of hard work, passion, and dedication.




In addition to the loss of his shop, Rafi’s car sustained severe damage and may not be repairable, leaving him without reliable transportation. He is also in need of temporary housing during this incredibly challenging time.

We have chosen not to show any specific images of the aftermath in this campaign, as the devastation in the River Arts District has been widely covered online. Instead, we want to focus on how we can help Rafi rebuild.

We are raising funds to help Rafi:
1. Replacing lost inventory
2. Securing temporary housing
3. Providing reliable transportation
4. Covering basic living expenses during this challenging period

Rafi has always been there to support others, including myself. Now it’s our turn to show him the same love and support. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a huge difference in helping him recover from this disaster.

100% of any donations raised will go straight to Rafi. Thank you for your generosity and for standing with Rafi as he navigates this difficult time.
