<p>Help Flare Run Again 
</p><br />
<p>A Disabled Veteran’s Best Friend Needs Surgery 
</p><br />
<p>Hi, 
</p>
<p>My name is Deb Page, and I’m reaching out with a heartfelt request for help. 
</p><br />
<p>My husband, Bill Page, is a 100% disabled U.S. veteran who served multiple tours overseas. After years of service and sacrifice, we’ve made a peaceful home together in the mountains of Fries, Virginia. Life here is quiet and healing—but the true heart of our home is our one-year-old beagle, Flare. 
</p><br />
<p>Flare is smart, playful, and full of personality. She makes us laugh every single day and brings an incredible sense of calm and joy to Bill’s life. For Bill, Flare isn’t just a pet—she’s a companion, a source of emotional support, and a piece of stability that helps him through each day. 
</p><br />
<p>Recently, Flare suffered a torn ACL in her left rear leg. It’s heartbreaking to see her limping, unable to run or play. The vet told us that **because she’s so young, she has an excellent chance of making a full recovery—**but only if she gets surgery soon. 
</p><br />
<p>The estimated cost of surgery and care is around $3,000, and with Bill on a fixed disability income, we’re struggling to cover it. 
</p><br />
<p>That’s why I’m turning to you. 
</p><br />
<p>If you’re able to help—even a small amount—it would mean the world to us. Your support will give Flare a second chance at a pain-free, joyful life and help keep Bill’s beloved companion by his side, happy and healthy. 
</p><br />
<p>All funds raised will go directly toward Flare’s surgery, recovery, and follow-up care. Any amount, no matter how small, helps. And if you can’t donate right now, please consider sharing this campaign. 
</p><br />
<p>Why It Matters: 
</p>
<p>• Flare is more than a dog. She’s Bill’s emotional lifeline and daily joy. 
</p>
<p>• She’s just a year old, and surgery now means a full life of mobility and love. 
</p><br />
<p>From the bottom of my heart, thank you. 
</p><br />
<p>With gratitude, 
</p>
<p>Deb Page 
</p>
<p>(on behalf of Bill &amp; Flare ❤️)

Support Flare's Surgery: Help a Veteran's Best Friend

<div>Following Hurricane Helene, our foster home, in Hendersonville, NC, which provides specialized care and respite services for <strong>those with special needs</strong>, sustained significant damage! To add insult to injury l, our insurance denied our claim! We are fighting it, but for now we desperately need to start repairing the damage done. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Essential repairs are urgently required, encompassing roof replacement, septic system repair, culvert replacement, and debris removal.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While everyone is safe and for that we are eternally gratefully,  we acknowledge the widespread devastation! The presence of mold presents a critical health hazard, demanding immediate remediation. We welcome any assistance, support, or outreach initiatives. Thank you so much for your consideration and even if you can't help, a share does a world of help too! 
</div>

Help Restore Our Special Needs Foster Home

<li>My name is Alecia apart from everything it's been rough since the storm! Finally got a vehicle though then the transmission fell out of it so it's in the shop !!!  Has been there since a week after I got it! My mom received her power bill for next month already just helped pay one and as of right now I have no way to help pay this one and this bill is over $700 and kind of in a camper running off her power as well as propane for heat and groceries so whatever helps in this situation everything is appreciated.

</li>

</ul>

Support Alecia's Family Through Tough Times

<div>We survived the disaster that Hurricane Helene left in WNC, but it has left my mother without a home. <strong>I am in need of assistance giving her a safe place to call home.</strong> Her home of 30+ years has major structural damage, the foundation sank on one end of the home from all of the water during the storm. Now the kitchen is about to separate from the rest of the house. You literally walk down a hill on that spot, and it continues to get worse every day. There was also damage to the roof from a big tree that caused multiple broken trusses and a few big holes in the roof and ceiling. We tarped the roof, but even the smallest of winds blow it off again, leaving the home exposed to the rain and snow. The landlord hasn't done a single repair yet, so we are dealing with lots of damage to her belongings from all of the moisture. Our plan is to get her into a tiny home on my property and out of that house before it falls in on itself. <strong>Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. </strong><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:1rem;color:inherit;">The tiny home will become her permanent residence.</span>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Funds will be used to:
</div>
<div>◾Fix septic drain field(damaged during the storm)
</div>
<div>◾Connect tiny home to electric
</div>
<div>◾Connect tiny home to pre-existing septic tank
</div>
<div>◾Storage unit to hold her belongings while we get tiny home set up
</div>
<div>◾Furnish tiny home 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have been doing as much as I can myself to avoid costs. I have already dug up the septic lids and plan on digging the trench for the septic lines. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I will post the estimates that I have gotten so far. All local businesses are backed up since the storm and it has taken a while to get them.

rebuilding after hurricane helene: dante and ravens recovery

<div>Hi. I don’t even know where to start. My family and I live in Hudson, NC. We were hit pretty hard by Hurricane Helene. The house was deemed unlivable. 
</div>
<div>We didn’t have flood insurance so homeowners insurance won’t help us. Our family consists of my husband, who is a disabled veteran, myself his unpaid caregiver, and our 3 boys, ages 21, 17, and 12. While I am extremely grateful that our house is still standing and we still technically have a roof over our heads the amount of black mold from the water damage is making myself and my son who have asthma very sick. I was told I have stage one COPD. My son has long covid from when he was hospitalized with a covid in July 2023. His anxiety is so bad that he hasn’t left our home in 8 months so we’ve been having to sleep in the car in our driveway. He’s having trouble breathing as well when we have to go inside. I don’t know why these things have happened to any of us up here in Western NC and Eastern TN but I know we’ve been let down. I’m so grateful to those to have volunteered their time and given their own resources to help others. My husband is about to have surgery for a hip replacement so I’m trying to get as much done as I can before that happens.
</div>
<div>We bought our home, our first home, in December of 2021. We worked so hard to save up and fix our credit to be able to provide a stable home for our kids and now it’s gone. I don’t have the ability to financially cover the costs and labor to pay someone to help with repairs. I’ve done what I can as far as ripping out the drywall, insulation, and flooring as I can. We just need a hand up. I will pay it forward as soon as we are able to get back on our feet. I don’t want this to sound like a sob story because we never ask for or accept help but this time we have no choice. I have no way to provide Christmas for my children. I know that ultimately isn’t important right now but it’s just another thing I feel guilty about. While we didn’t live a perfect life before this we were comfortable and making ends meet for the most part. I’ve been unable to pay certain bills so that we could replace the food we lost. Choosing between eating and paying our bills is not something I ever thought I’d have to do again. Anything is appreciated, anything at all and if you can’t help, please know I am grateful that you took the time to read our story. Prayers are also very welcome.

<div>I'm a single mom of 2 in Clyde NC. Our community got hit really hard. We lost our place to live and our car. By the grace of God we are still here and we really need some help relocating back into a home of our own again. We are spread out amongst family and Fema hotels.

If you can't help financially, please pray for us.

Rebuild Our Lives After Disaster

<div>Update 10/16/2025:
</div>
<div>384 days after Helene devastated so much of our area, it's moving day for Barbara.  We've had many emotions over the course of her recovery, but your contributions helped ensure that the financial side of her recovery was not an issue.   It's still unbelievable to us how many people stepped up to help.  From donations here of $3 up to the larger donations, we know that every penny helped add up in the end.  We can't thank you guys enough.  In the beginning she said she "just wants to go home."  Well, she finally got to go home today.  I hope this update reaches each of you.  Thank you so much.  
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Update 3/26/2025:
</div>
<div>It's been a while since my last update.
</div>
<div>Tomorrow marks the 6 month anniversary of the floods from Hurricane Helene. Barbara has purchaced a new doublewide to be put back on her property. Once the sitework is completed, it will be delivered. Even though we've been frustrated with the slow progress, it has been blessing. If you're from our area, you already know about the Black Cove wildfire. It has burned all the underbrush, and dried leaves on Barbara's property(and thousands of acres in her comminuty), and would have likely damaged or destroyed her new home. At this time, we're very thankful for the delays. The new photo shows the homesite that is being prepped a little farther up the hill to elevate her home to help protect it from any future high water events. Thank you all again for your support. More updates to come.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Update 11/10/2024:
</div>
<div>The call for help has been heard, and we're blown away by the generosity of friends and strangers. I never thought this fund would get this much attention. As the days go by, we realize the Barbara will need more than the goal that has been set. The septic system may not be up to par. She may need a new well drilled. The list goes on and on. I had been thanking each contributor individually until last night, and now I just can't keep up. We can't thank everyone enough.
</div>
<div>I've seen comments with concern about wether she'll actually get this money. I can assure it is going directly to Barbara (minus the gofundme fees). It's being transfered into her account daily.
</div>
<div>Thanks again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Brian Estes, I live near Columbus, NC.
</div>
<div>Hurricane Helene's destruction is widespread over many communities in WNC and more
</div>
<div>Green River Cove hasn't gotten the news coverage of the more populated or commercialized areas. It was hit just as hard, wiping out the only road that gives access. The road has been patched up, thanks to several locals volunteering their own time and equipment, along with the D.O.T. that repaired the approaches at both bridges crossing the river, and repaired the missing road at Laurel Branch.
</div>
<div>Now that the road is passable, moving on with life must get serious. My Mother-In-Law (Barbara Bradley), and much of her family live in the Cove. She has lived in the same trailer at 4063 Green River Cove Rd, that was bought new in 1973, until Helene brought the river up higher than she'd ever seen. The water/mud line left behind was above the light switches inside. The walls have buckled as well as the floor. I actually fell thru the floor while retrieving some of her personal belongings. Her home of more than 50 years is now uninhabitable. She had no insurance. She is retired, living on a single Social Security income. Her car was also completely submerged, and is a total loss.
</div>
<div><strong>She'll live with us as long as necessary </strong>(so no need for a tiny house or camper), but she wants to "Go Home".
</div>
<div>I'm now asking for help for Barbara. We need to be able to get her home replaced. Every penny helps, and will add up in the end. It will be spent on the expenses of getting another home put on her property. Also, sharing this will let it be seen by many more people.
</div>
<div>Thanks SO MUCH, in advance for anything you may give.
</div>

SMOKEY'S BUNNY HAVEN

<div>Hey guys, Mandi here. As most of you know, we lost a great one. Someone who was hilarious, loved animals, loved kids, most likely loved you.  Someone when he had nothing, would help someone else. He lost his battle yesterday, after fighting so, so hard. I'll need your help to send him home and celebrate him. If you could please help, even it's just a share, it would mean the world. Thanks in advance.
