Support Ryan and Tammy's Recovery from Hurricane Helene
Donation protected
My name is Charlie Goe and I am creating this account to raise money to help my good friend that have been severely impacted by Hurricane Helene. As Hurricane Helene reached the mountains of North Carolina our good friends Ryan and Tammy, who live in Black Mountain, North Carolina were awakened at 2 AM by large trees smashing through their home and mud, water, and rocks wiping out everything they had. They had 4 cabins for vacation rentals as well as lived full time on the property. They were then trapped for 4 days with limited resources or any way to contact loved ones. On the 3rd day Ryan climbed to the highest point he could and was finally able to reach emergencies services. They told him to start a fire and make it as large as he could so he could be found and saved. It then took several days for them to be located and finally a Blackhawk helicopter was able to find their fire and rescue them. I had been trying to reach him for 8 days when i finally received a text that said this: "We lost everything bro. We were trapped for 4 days. We got airlifted then went to the hospital, then a shelter. My daughter got us flights out. I am in Oklahoma with Tammy. I will try to call you later. We are alive." There are so many people in the mountains of North Carolina that have suffered and hundreds who have lost their lives. We continue to pray for their families and souls. We are all grateful for Ryan and Tammy to have made it through such a horrendous tragedy. While they are left with nothing, any donations and prayers to help them rebuild their lives would be greatly appreciated.
