Hello, everyone. I’m reaching out to share my brother Justin’s incredible story of resilience and the urgent need for support after the devastation of Hurricane Helene. Living in Burnsville, NC, he faced life-threatening floods that swept through his home, destroying almost everything he owned. While he had renters insurance, it sadly does not cover natural disasters.

In those terrifying moments, Justin not only fought to save his life but also witnessed the loss of all his possessions. Now, he’s starting over, and we’re working together to raise funds for his recovery. Once Justin has a stable living environment, he plans to then help others rebuild and build housing as he is a construction contractor.

I’ve set up a GoFundMe page to help him rebuild his life.

Your support, no matter how small, can make a significant difference. Please consider donating and sharing this message with anyone who might be willing to help. Thank you for standing by Justin during this challenging time.

From Justin De Tienne:

I’m reaching out for support as I’ve recently lost my home to Hurricane Helene’s devastating flooding. After barely escaping with my dog, Fisher, I’m now without stable housing and need help to rebuild my life. My community has offered me a rent-to-own plot of land where I plan to construct a 400 sqft tiny home.

I don’t have experience with social media fundraising, so I’m asking for your help to start a GoFundMe or organize donations. Any contributions will go directly toward my new home and help me continue giving back to our community as I will be able to assist others conctructung and repairing their homes once I can stabilize my living conditions.

Your support means the world to me during this difficult time. Thank you for considering helping me create a safe and stable space for us to recover and rebuild.
