Support Leanna and Zac Through Asheville's Crisis

Where to begin. We are living in the midst of the worst catastrophe I have ever witnessed and while our home was not damaged we are unable to live in it. The water system in Asheville was completely destroyed and the projections on it returning to normal are uncertain but what I do know is that it will be long. Along with no access to clean running water our income is also gone. We can no longer rent out our Short Term Rentals, something that we put all of time and money into because we believed it would create a stable stream of income as we both approach retirement age, in addition the gallery that I work, adore and sell my photography artwork in has been completely gutted and has been deemed an unstable structure so there will be a long road to it's recovery, if it is recoverable. My photography experience "Photo Stroll in the RAD" through Airbnb is also done as it focused on the River Arts District, one of the hardest hit areas in Asheville. Zac's job has no projected time of reopening because it, like basically everything else has to have water to function.

This truly is some 3rd world stuff. It's humbling.

Leaf season is our busy time of year and it allows us to put up the money we need to get through the winter months since things really slow down. That is no longer an option for us.

I've never asked for people to help me in this way or put up anything like this Go Fund Me and hopefully that is just a testament as to how really awful the situation is. Any help is so appreciated and may very well save our home.

With love and gratitude for my home and my hide. Leanna
