If you've been following the news, Asheville, NC in particular was hit extremely hard by the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, and sadly, our dear friend Jaymie Schepers' home was severely damaged by downed trees and a landslide. She and her husband, Andrew (Shep), have since learned that their house cannot be salvaged and they will need to rebuild. Fortunately, she and her family are safe, but the magnitude of destruction to their home and in their area is immense. They and their entire community are still without power and other key resources. Rebuilding in Western Carolina will be a long road ahead.

Jaymie, Shep, and their 2 kids are currently staying with Shep's brother Brad and his wife Emily, who is their neighbor and who also sustained storm damage as well. They are looking after each other and keeping up with the cleanup efforts in their area. If you are able to spare anything in support of the Schepers family, please donate below. Donations will support both families and help with their immediate needs as they get back on their feet. Please keep Jaymie, Shep, and their entire family in your thoughts as they navigate this difficult situation. Thank you!❤️
