My sister and her partner were impacted by Hurricane Helene. They both have private offices in the River Arts District of Asheville, NC, where they provide physical therapy (Restorative PT) and counseling services (Mindful Counseling) to the local community. Their offices are on the first floor in the building in the photo and had at least 3 feet of water and mud flowing through them, destroying lots of equipment. While insurance and disaster relief will certainly help, they both have lost income as they can't currently work from their offices, and it's unclear how long it will take to recover. Plus, it could easily be months or more before that money is made available.

A few friends have already reached out asking how they can help, so I decided to start this GoFundMe campaign to help Tricia and Andrew as they get back on their feet and rebuild. The funds will be used to help supplement their lost income, purchase supplies for the cleanup effort, and pay for daily expenses like groceries, gas, mortgage, and student loans. All donations will go directly to Tricia and Andrew. Any amount will help. Thank you!

Update 10/2: Here are some photos Tricia and Andrew took on Saturday before they left Asheville. They're now heading back into Asheville to start cataloguing losses and to start some cleanup.

This is as you approach the office suite:

This is just inside the office suite:

This is Tricia's PT room:

It's difficult to even tell, but this is very expensive equipment ($18,000) covered in mud. (Tricia is the only Physical Therapist in the entire state of NC who is a NeuFit Certified Provider, so this is a big loss.)

This is Andrew's office:
