I kept playing the song over and over. Wow!!! Some of the money from the song itself could help these people tremendously!!! I hope it gets put on the charts. It tells their story!!!
Yes and another song would help boost them up a little bit and a prayer every day for the people who live there and are struggling to survive but I think they are a great bunch of people
The love that is sweeping across our nation is sooo amazing to see in the hearts of people that are volunteering and people that are still giving in all sorts of ways❤️🙏
Our church in Oklahoma is hosting a huge concert 100% of proceeds go to hurricane relief victims. Praise The Lord. We are donating you are not forgotten. This country is coming together to help those who need help right now all to the Glory of God Almighty.
Great to see my friend Eddie Lord from NC, that was helping the guys from Tennessee with his pickup. He’s a good man. Prayers for everybody in western North Carolina.🙏
I've donated to these great excavating people. I'm disabled and grateful to those who are physically there, and grateful to be able to pitch in towards gas, meals, safety equip, etc. We love you and Heaven loves you all! ❤️🙏🕊
We were just watching another one of Johns videos on how the storm devastated this area. My one comment is, You can tell it isn't a "government job" because there aren't a lot of guys standing around holding up shovels, like all the government jobs do. Good Job Guys, helping people who have no hope other than the help that volunteers are giving. God Bless you all, for helping all you can.
Love the song. Thank you totally that respond3d to the disaster of Helene. God bless them all. And God bless the people and communities effected. Youare all in our hearts and prayers.
John I hope and pray that ya stay on this it's the only honest reporting there is. Those guys are American Heroes and Jake is one incredible guy. We're continuing our thoughts and prayers for all in the affected areas.
Some of my favorite memories are when I was stationed at the Coast Guard base in Elizabeth City and traveled often to the Smokies with my roommate back 50 yrs ago. Such a special place, I weep thinking of all that has been lost, but am so thankful to see the goodness in humanity helping to bring the communities back. Thankyou so much for documenting all those helping.
It is really awesome seeing everyone helping out in North Carolina getting things done and i pray that everything will turn out great take care and God Bless You All in NC.☕💓🇺🇲
Jake is An Angel With Heavy Machinery ❤ And seeing all the Volunteers Theyre hearing the heartbreaking stories Its 💔 and Heartwarming all at the same time Thank U John for Filming whats really going on ther I will continue to send $ to Jake each paycheck so he can keep on doing what needs to be done ❤Gods Blessing and Protection on All Of His Angels 🙏 and Comfort of All those affected in one way or Another
It’s an amazing thing when all the neighbors of different towns and different states come out to help each other. It’s sad when our own government won’t come in there and clean up and help these people.
It sounds like the addition is what saved that man and his wife's life. Thank you for videoing this and thank you for the man making the temporary bridge. God bless you all.
I've been out in Ashville, and hot springs and other back roads delivering trailer loads of everything we could collect in donations. Every time i met beautiful people that never imagined this could happen to them. Broke and filled my heart to be there. God bless everyone, from Ocoee Tn.
Ty for the journalism and videography/documentation of such a catastrophic event. Everyone there, every donation and every prayer/good energy vibe here IS a model of how Love/Compassion works....in the physical and In Spirit!
@@theappalachianchannel FYI, I found out about Hart Square Village through your channel and went there last summer and to this year's heritage festival. I love that place.
Hi John , Thank you for your continued documentation, and interviewing the hard working men to restore the bridges that were washed out . Jake from Precision Grading is a amazing person to restore the communities with all his effort and his team. ❤❤
If you would like to support Jake's work helping those in need, please mail a check made out to Precision Grading. Your donation will be presented to him in an upcoming video.

Praying for NW North Carolina may God comfort all who've lost loved ones and everything, provide your every need, keep you strong to endure and bless yall with a richer future..🙏💔
Thanks for taking us along with you John. I have been through 3 FEMA declared floods. I truly understand. The churches and volunteers are the hero's. I am a retired truck driver if Jake needs a driver. Class A CDL. moved heavy equipment and oversize loads. Drive tri and quad dumps. Thanks for the awesome video John.
How really humble you folks are, not blaming,or complaining, in a one time disaster,just getting on with rebuilding. Im in Philippines and were having typhoons right now, parts of city( Tuguegarao) now flooding, but nothing like you had, but yes, we here know what its like, about 6 yrs ago Hurricane Yolande, hit us ,winds of over 300km/hr and killed about6000
I'm in the uk, so this may well be a very naive question - is it possible to get mobile saw mills in there and use some of those downed trees to make log cabins for folks who now have no homes? The cold season is coming on so it may not be viable right away, but that loss of green gold and Autumnal beauty could be a solution. Couldn't it? My prayers go out to you all, those in need and those providing aide. 💜 Mother Nature is so powerful.
The logs have to be removed (topography), sorted by size (many too big), let to dry, peeled, transported to sites, not all trees make good cabins. Sounds good… not really practical.
Thank you UK Elizabeth! Great idea. There are groups building small homes in addition to delivering new sheds that are being insulated and living interiors created.
I can't believe those homeowners won't let people cross!! That's sad everyone has been helping and fur them to act this way is not exceptable. Let's hope they don't need a thing!!! Praying for all affected. Thank you to the man that did help let them build a way out. Thank all that have helped people affected. I will pray that those people who arent helping see how horrible they look. What's the big deal letting someone cross your property till they get a solution. Thank the man again who helped
Thank you veterans and citizens for coming up to the plate. Government is not responsible and cannot do much for these emergency situations. We have to step up and take care of our own. Bless you all for helping those affected by Helene.
The. Artist is Rick Moreland and his song is awe inspiring...he must walk with God or how else could he come up with such a deeply touching and poignant song?! I listen to it many times everyday since first hearing it. Thank you John Ward and the Appalachian channel for bringing it to us!
You 100% correct God used me to write these lyrics and I truly feel that every bit of this song was touched by God , I hope it is helping all that listen to be blessed and have faith that we are not alone in this world love and peace is the positive way to live your life
The words in this background song are so fitting!! Sooo much destruction…rebuilding n new road construction plus everything else will take years but one step at a time and lots n lots of patience is needed!!
My TN Volunteers at work, helping those in desperate need of help. God bless you all and keep you. I've been living in an 8x12 shed for just under 3 yrs while trying to build. Tiny homes, sheds & Amish log cabins are a savior to these people. Not ideal but doable. I don't have plumbing, I have a bucket & tent for an outhouse. Resilience is ingrained in Hillbillies. When there's a will, there IS a way. We can't progress bc of a shortage of materials but I'm good bc these ppl need them more than I do. Have no problem waiting. I know the need having grown up in LA, I've watched FEMA let Americans down, time & time again. FEMA - Fix Everything My Ass!
Thank you John Ward for showing this I am 72 from Pennsylvania I watch these everyday and cry I wish I was able to help, but I am not able to walk very far. And please tell them we are praying for them. Thank you all that are helping GOD BLESS YOU ALL
@@theappalachianchannelEnjoyed your travel videos & now your work with these volunteer & rebuilding stories. That othervvideo with the town meeting was something. All should see the entire thing. Big Thank You from FL.
Thank YOU John for all you do. You my friend have been a real inspiration to me. Your heart is so BIG that every one of us can feel and hear the love you have for people. Keep up the good work John. Thank you for caring and sharing. May our Lord keep Blessing you. I am thankful for you John. God’s speed young man.
We need the artist of this song and more ,please of this sing 🎤 song, John, vary beautiful song of what I’ve been saying truth, praise Jesus Christ grace amen 🙏 thanks BigAl California
Even while our evil government and media is doing nothing, the American hero's are stepping up to the task at hand to help ease the pain in this disaster for their fellow Americans. Thank you for keeping us informed of what is really going on.
Such a beautiful song opener. I am amazed how regular American citizens are helping rebuild and volunteering! It's awful to say but this natural disaster and destruction has brought so many good people together! Thank you for the updates John. I'm in NH and truly do not know anyone personally in Appalachia but I care and I feel very helpless but want to help. It is terrible these victims can't get payout so they can rebuild. Ive donated cash as much as I can give and will continue watching and donating. God bless everyone. I say my prayers for all of the victims for strength.
No questions these hurricanes are engineered , but this one had the opposite effect than what they wanted. People came together, showed tremendous solidarity and resilience. Let's keep it going. Together we can overcome anything. This won't be the last time.
Concrete Washington here and a bit of a backyard songwriter. My Hope is that the songwriters would get together and get the CDs out to the people. That would be a wonderful fundraiser!!!
Great work John getting the stories out, the true stories. God Bless you and all of those wonderful folks volunteering to help our neighbors over the mountain. Love and blessings from East Tennessee.
Thanks for the stories. Ive heard some great stories and Jake from around Saluda is a good man. I live in rural Burke Co and tons of local grading businesses are stepping up and have been working for free, 95% dont get the exposure and thanks. Bunch of great folks all around. From the local population whos been mudding and mucking, to the heavy equipment operators local and from afar, the linesman, the carpenters who rebuild, the crews re-establishing coms, the fine folks cooking for us, the great people organizing donations and distributing them- everyone is tired, worn out and exhausted, yet we keep on and wouldn't be able to do it with everyones selfless attitudes and willingness to work as a team
Getting to see all the people helping rebuild - using their skills and equipment and willingness to work to help put a stranger's life back together, and know how much of it is made possible by small money donations coming in from all over - you're doing great work documenting it so well, and putting it out. And that song is great.
May the Lord bless all involved! Really makes one have hope in our country. What a blessing to see! Sending all my hugs and prayers to all these wonderful, amazing people!
Thank you for helping our mountain community. I know it is greatly appreciated. I do not know what the people in these communities would do without your amazing help. I can't believe the damage left behind from this terrible storm. Please be safe and take care. Thank you again for all of your hard work.
This song brought tears to my eyes. You know, the kind that warms my heart and makes me so proud to see humanity at its best, living from their hearts. Taking care of each other and helping each other, especially in times of need! THIS is who we are and what we stand for! Love heals everything!!! ❤❤ We love you all!
These volunteers and workers are the type of people we need in Congress and running this nation.
AMEN!!!

Tree fall from gale for winds is mostly splintered for most of the body of the tree. Certainly some useable but not at any reasonable %
Excellent idea!!! Ty
Alot of the logs are toxic from petroleum and sewage and other chemicals plus the bark is full of packed mud they would halft to be cleaned
The logs have to be removed (topography), sorted by size (many too big), let to dry, peeled, transported to sites, not all trees make good cabins. Sounds good… not really practical.

This song brought tears to my eyes. You know, the kind that warms my heart and makes me so proud to see humanity at its best, living from their hearts. Taking care of each other and helping each other, especially in times of need! THIS is who we are and what we stand for! Love heals everything!!! ❤❤ We love you all!
Thanks to all the work that these heroes have done. Absolutely incredible ❤❤❤❤
Just so unbelievable what has happened to so many people losing everything.
