Support Haley and Josh's Recovery from Hurricane Helene
Donation protected
I'm reaching out to ask for help for my dear friends Haley and Josh, who have been through an incredibly difficult time after Hurricane Helene. They didn't have homeowners insurance, and due to their unique living situation, FEMA hasn't been able to assist.
Josh is a volunteer fire captain, and their 17-year-old son, Mason, also serves on the department. When the flooding began, both were out on calls. Thankfully, Haley followed her instincts and called Josh to get her and the kids to safety at the fire station. Just an hour later, trees fell on their home and vehicle, destroying much of their property.
Their farmhouse, which housed Josh's taxidermy business and many of their personal belongings, was hit hard. The roof has gaping holes, and they've lost precious items, from wedding albums and family treasures to homeschool supplies, camping gear, and Christmas decorations. Mason, who had just moved into the attic, lost everything he owned as well.
The family is safe, and God has been with them in many ways through this storm, but they are in great need. They’ve lost their only vehicle, and much of their livelihood. On top of this, Haley is facing a serious health challenge, having recently been diagnosed with a brain tumor.
Despite all they've been through, Josh and Mason have continued working tirelessly to help others and clear roads after the storm. They need our support to rebuild their lives. Any contribution, no matter how small, would help them get back on their feet.
If you'd like to help, I've included ways you can donate or provide supplies. Your kindness and prayers mean the world to them during this incredibly tough time.
Thank you so much for your love and support.
