Help Lawter Family after losing their "Bat Cave Apple House"

Donation protected
Please help me raise funds for The Lawter Family - Sarah, Tommy, Kathy and Elizabeth. Their "Bat Cave Apple Shop" built in 1983 was completely destroyed by Hurricane Helene - along with ALL of the store's inventory. Their mobile home was also damaged. FEMA will only give them a loan to replace the store - which they cannot repay. Tommy just retired in May 2024 after over 30 years of being our caretaker and will now have to find a job as the family no longer has any income from the store.

Because the hurricane destroyed the road in Bat Cave, the entire Lawter family had to be airlifted out by helicopter and leave their vehicles behind. Not having her car made it impossible for Kathy to get to her job for almost 2 months after the hurricane causing her to lose income at a time when she and her family needed money the most.

Our family has been closely connected to the Lawter family for generations. We were previous employers and now we are just long time neighbors and friends. They hope to purchase a waterproof shed to store inventory that they could sell either online or at flea markets.

Please give generously!! - but ANY amount will help!!! The Lawter family needs much more than this, but if we can meet this goal - it would help them begin to rebuild their lives after this disaster! Thank you so much!
