My name is Melody Wright, and I moved to Johnson City, TN exactly one year ago.

Our community has suffered a devastating crisis in the wake of Hurricane Helene. The government response has been completely underwhelming and pales in comparison to what was even sent after Katrina.

As such, we are taking matters into our own hands to get relief to our community and surrounding areas.

I will be meeting with community members over the next several days to find ways we can directly aid those in distress.

A full accounting will be provided of funds spent.

Thank you for your help and for being a part of a larger community who cares about The Forgotten American.
