Support Eli Bates: A Paramedic in Need

Hi! My name is Gracie Houser. The man in the picture is my boyfriend of 2 years, Elijah Bates. Eli and I are both from Western NC, specifically Spruce Pine, NC. Eli is a NC Paramedic, whose home was destroyed while he was working EMS services during Hurricane Helene. He lost nearly everything while he was helping others survive the storm. Eli never asks for anything for himself and devotes all of his time to helping others. My goal is to raise money to help him find a new place to live, every little bit helps! Funds will go directly to Eli as soon as the goal is hit (as a surprise!)
