<div>What started as a simple dinner date between two friends on Sundays turned into a passionate, hands-on, doors-open approach to serving our community. 


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Delivering 30-50 hand-packed bags of various donated essentials, hygiene products, snacks, and a hot meal to members of the North Charleston community that are unhoused. 


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Afterwards, we host a gathering for the volunteers, friends, families, and members of the community to unwind, exchange resources, and build lasting support systems. 


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div><strong>We’re aiming to give love to the unseen, serve the underserved, and create a safe space where anyone and EVERYONE is welcome.</strong> 


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>It takes a village, so help us continue to ensure there’s always a place set at the table.

<div>Help us bring this project to life!

</div>

</div>

<div>Hey there! My name is Lainie Robertson. I'm a student filmmaker at Belmont University in Nashville, TN.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>In September 2024, my home area of Western North Carolina was hit by the outer bands of Hurricane Helene. This destroyed entire communities, killed 117 people, and left the area nearly $53 billion in debt. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>For the past six months my filming partner Lauren McNamara and I have been documenting the volunteer and rehabilitation efforts in WNC post-Helene. This project aims to raise awareness of the help still needed in the area and encourage people to volunteer or donate.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This project also showcases the work ethic and resilience of Appalachian people. My home means so much to me, and it's very important that we give the local people a voice. The stories of rural communities are often overlooked, and we feel it is more important than ever to show the world the impact of natural disasters, months to years after the initial impact. 

</div>

<div> 

</div>

<div>We are looking to raise money to help us fund our returning film dates, music licensing, access to archival footage, and distribution. Anything helps and is appreciated more than you know!

Stand with WNC: Documenting Helene's Aftermath

<div>Many of us know and love Michael Geiger, our most stubborn friend, and now he needs our help. Geiger is suffering from stage four kidney failure and recently had to start dialysis. He has a long road of healing ahead from surgeries he has had to get to a point of stability with his health. He has not been able to work and is struggling to meet basic financial needs much less the medical bills and medications that keep racking up. Anything helps (and we all know he’d never be caught asking), whether it’s a share or donation, to keep his head up during this distressing time. Thank you
</div>

Support Michael Geiger's Fight Against Kidney Failure

<div>Hi, I’m Elias, a mixed Indigenous trans person. From a young age, I knew I felt different, but I didn’t have the vocabulary to fully understand or express what I was experiencing. When puberty hit, it became clear that my gender identity no longer aligned with my body, and it was only years later, in college, that I came out as genderfluid, followed by identifying as trans masculine/non-binary.
</div>
<div>My journey has been a long one, and I've come so far, but I still have more to go. I am reaching out in the hopes of raising the funds I need to get top surgery, as well as take the necessary time off work to recover. This has been a long-term goal of mine, as top surgery would help ease my chest dysphoria and align my body with my gender identity. While therapy has been helpful, I’m seeking a more permanent solution, especially with the increasing transphobia in Texas legislation. This surgery will have a profound impact on my mental health and will allow me to navigate the world in a way that feels authentic and comfortable.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I've tried multiple fundraising methods, including t-shirt drives and selling prints, and I’ve been incredibly grateful for the support I’ve received so far. However, the funds have been moving so slowly that I often find myself using them for basic survival needs. My last donation was two years ago, and the process has left me feeling discouraged. Because of this, I’m now also looking into top-surgery grants as an alternative option, or moving out of state to a place with accessibility to necessary medical care.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I had a great consultation with Dr. Freet at UTHealth in Houston about two years ago, but since then Dr. Freet has retired, I’m now seeking alternative care. I still owe $344 for the initial consultation, which wasn’t covered by insurance, and I want to continue moving forward with my surgery. The goal of my fundraiser is to cover the cost of the surgery, the out-of-pocket expenses, and the time I need to take off from work for recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here’s the cost estimate of care:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>$7800 Approx. maximum if covered by insurance.
</div>
<div>$10,000 Approx. if not covered by insurance or insurance is denied.
</div>
<div>Does not Include anesthesia fee or additional medical fees.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>$2415 Approx. monthly living expenses to compensate for time out of work.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you so much for the community support I’ve received so far. It means the world to me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div>Elias &lt;3

Elias’ Top Surgery Fundraiser

<div>Hey, friends. I am fundraising on behalf of our long-time friend and fellow Sephora girl, Jakki Warrick, and her young son Landon. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On May 19th, Jakki's husband Bryan and their youngest son Milo were killed in a tragic car accident. Tomorrow would have been their 11th wedding anniversary, and the coming weeks would have seen Bryan turn 35, Milo turn 6, and Landon 13. Instead of celebrating these milestones as a family, Jakki and Landon will be navigating the new meanings of these landmarks and their broken hearts. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I can speak for many of us when I say that Jakki has been a source of structure and wry humor in a backroom full of chaos. For those unfamiliar with Jakki's grace under pressure and generous spirit, she is exactly the type of person you would want if this tragedy happened to you and your family. This is our chance to help give her family the financial stability they need during this time of extreme upheaval. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The coming days, weeks, and months will be filled with grief and uncertainty. But, as their family, friends, and community, this is something we can do to ease their burdens and be of service to them during the most devastating time a family can experience. Please help us raise money to cover the cost of rebuilding their lives in the wake of such overwhelming loss. Anything helps. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>*100% of your donations will go directly to Jakki and Landon Warrick
