    Just in my area of southern New Jersey alone (and I am sure in many other states), we have many private airplane pilots, corporate helicopter pilots, tractor trailer drivers, and many others who collected tons of essentials - baby care items, clean up items, medicines, elder care items, nonperishables, etc. - and drove/flew to NC. There is even more on its way in the coming weeks. I would like to see you or Jacob do a video of the supplies being distributed along with videos of local citizens helping each other in the clean up effort. I think it would do a world of good in our exceedingly negative, divided country, to see some people helping people videos.

    When I was 7 years old back in summer 1998, my parents took me to Chimney Rock State Park. I remember playing in the town before we went up into the state park. My parents took me to visit his college roommate and his parents living in Hendersonville NC then. Now I am 33 years old and look what happened. I have multiple trips to Asheville NC and Pigeon Forge Tennessee, plus Great Smoky mountains Np. I regret not going back to Chimney Rock State Park and look what happened there. Once it reopens, even if the state park is only left, I am driving there from my home state of Kentucky for a visit. But I still have friends who moved to North Carolina decades later from that 1998 trip.

I do know what you mean about the bubble it happened here in new Hampshire back in the early 2000s alstead new Hampshire my hometown was wiped in the lower village and it looked like this. Vast roadway damages and houses gone and lives lost. And luckily for allot of us who lived in the upper parts of alstead weren’t touched . Very surreal to see it.

    I'm happy you are okay. Don't let lupus limit you!! You have a platform that can reach many. What if you showcased small businesses or local churches that are need help? You are a wonderful person, easy to talk to, maybe short interviews from people who are helping? Mr Rogers said to look for the helpers... Maybe you could show us the helpers? Or interviews with places that need help to get the word out? I'm just spitballing. Your videos are giving those of us who are not able to do much a sense of the reality of the situation. That's helpful. You are wonderful thank you for everything you do. If there's one thing my friend out there said is that people out that way are resilient. They will rebuild.
    The Dali Lama once said that in order to find yourself you must lose yourself in the service of others. You are giving so many people more information than we had before and for that I am grateful.
    Don't let this make you feel helpless you are strong too. ❤

    I was watching a video that showed some devastation around a place called Red Hill, N.C. Extremely rural area.. People missing from their homes that were picked up by the water and destroyed them. A lady being interviewed said you could smell dead bodies, but they can't see them. Also, another man had called 911 to say that there were dead bodies on his property near the water. It's horrible. So much mud everywhere. Roads washed away. People can't get to others to help unless they climb over mountains and through the bush. It's all heartbreaking to see.

    I clicked like to your video, but I only did so to help you with the UA-cam algorithm. The reality though is how much I dislike the disaster that has befallen on those residents in your state and region. We all around the world have to stop burning fossil fuels & hopefully reverse the greenhouse effects that is causing global warming and the climate change crisis. May you get the good fortune to heal from the disaster trauma. If public assistance offers mental health services to all of you, seriously consider taking the aid it could be the pathway forward. God bless you all!

A soft plushie for them to hug during this awful time could mean the world to a child. I'm sure there are toy drives happening, too.

I’m absolutely appalled by how he’s just left you, leaving you to handle everything while he goes off and does other things without any help or support. I mean this in the most sincere way. You deserve better. ❤
    I used to be in a long-distance relationship where I had to move states apart to be with my partner. If they had ever left me in this situation during a hurricane, without any help or support whatsoever, and just left me there, I would have been beyond hurt, frustrated, and upset. I have tremendous respect for you, Jen, because I remember how hard it was for me to move to a new place, and you’re dealing with it during a hurricane of all things, while Jacob is off leaving you alone.
    I unsubscribed from Jacob yesterday because I don’t like what I’m seeing and how he’s portraying himself. Thank you for telling us the truth about what’s going on, and not hiding it. I can’t imagine how your family feels. Stay strong, Jenn! I’m sorry that Jacob isn’t there for you anymore. 😢
