    My name is Bill and I am from Avery County. We were one of me many places that was hit hard by Helene and I can not express enough how thankful I am for you and others who have come to the area to bring help, supplies, and support in this time. As you said it looks like a disaster zone in one of these apocalyptic movies but 10 times worse. Those supplies that everyone has donated and the supplies you have brought was a blessing beyond blessing. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! To volunteer your time and money to help the mountain communities and Lord knows we people of the mountains would do the same for the rest of NC or any other state in need.
    I have a favor to ask anyone who has or will help our area or is sitting at home wondering what I can do to help...At sometime the rebuilding of homes is going to come at us full swing. So many people lost everything or at least their homes and belongings. I ask that you contact your local building material supply stores and lumber yard and ask them to donate building materials, lumber, plywood sheeting, nails, screws, roofing, etc. This is what we are going to need with winter coming up. I know there are shelters and they may even pull in some temporary housing trailers, (and we are grateful for that) However we need to get our lives back together, a place to call home so that we can get back to some type of normalcy. To know our loved ones have a place. Sure it is going to take a while, but if we start now asking these building supply companies to help us with either discounted supplies or free supplies we will be so grateful. And if they don't want to help the start fund raisers in your community, or see if people will donate building materials.
    Again thank you and all the others for your help! Bless you all.

But this is one of the reasons I will always drive a Jeep. It’s not only to be a cool dude. 😂 I’m glad to see you are doing as good as you can be. Keep shining. Prays go out to the ones who lost everything. Remember this tho you are alive and you can rebuild. Stay strong.

      If only folks can do this for the people in the area they live in, their neighbors they live near in there own towns. Imagine how much better things would be for the towns and cities we live in every day. I know folks, mostly all older people who cannot get to grocery stores because they physically cannot and yet nobody checks on them that live even on the same street. They have no kids that help them but are on their own. How many single moms that could use some extra help. Just saying, help those affected by the hurricane of course absolutely, but also see if their are everyday needs for those you live near too that you could be a huge help to. Maybe they need grass mowed, maybe help getting groceries or to see a doctor.

I'm hoping to come with a church group to rebuild if we're able and my health improves. I'm fighting pancreatic cancer at this time and can pray for the help you need right now. I am motivated to get better and want to do this for others when I retire. I've volunteered in churches, through my job, and recreational facilities in the past, but helping people with the most need when others aren't willing to has always been my greatest desire. Thanks for what you're doing and I'm praying for your protection while you're out there.

    God bless all who donate and help in everyway. Been seeing donation areas, some are short in some supplies, others have too much of some supplies. Would be nice if the different areas could connect to help where needed the most. Thank you for your video and others too. We're keeping posted by videos rather than the news and where to donate for the different needs as time is progressing forward. -John's wife

    You said a mouthful when you said we need "kindness all the time". The Amish live this way ( I'm friends with them ) and I wish we would do as they do. They take care of each other. God Bless you both.
