PLEASE PRAYERFULLY CONSIDER HELPING WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA ONCE AGAIN

 Hello family in Yahushua,

Father has put it on my heart to share this post with you. As many of you are aware, Western North Carolina, USA has not fully recovered from Hurricane Helene two years ago. Many are still in dire straits and dependent completely on the generosity of others just to survive. We have stayed in contact with a couple of people who are boots on the ground and have the inside knowledge of where the need is the greatest. We have met Pastor Barry and his wife in person and they are wonderful people of Father. 

I'm sharing this Facebook post from Pastor Barry Cundiff who personally receives and delivers supplies as he gets word to those that are in desperate need. Please prayfully consider helping these families. The information for donating is below the post. Also, please send contributions directly to Pastor Barry or to the church he has listed for tax-deductible donations to expedite the process as we are not receiving donations directly for this need at this time. 

Thank you all so very much and you are always in our prayers, and we are most grateful for yours as well. Thank you to all those as well who send gifts to us here anonymously, you are all very appreciated. Please always remember to provide an e-mail address to us if you would like confirmation of your gifts. 

Shalom, 

Doug and Julie

Western North Carolina is NOT okay.

I can take you TODAY to families still without reliable water after Helene.

Local groups have shared a needs list with me covering 143 households across 7 counties dealing with contaminated or failed wells, no water hookups, or destroyed well/septic infrastructure. Some are living in campers, tiny homes and tents without water access still.

While we’re planning mountain weekends and ski trips, some of our neighbors are hauling water just to get through the day. Volunteers are still buying it out of their own pockets to keep families supplied.

I see people on here every day wanting to give back and make a difference. I love that. Here’s an opportunity right in our own backyard.

Know a water company, bottler or spring? Connect us. Own a trucking business or have the ability to haul? We need help getting water there consistently. Can you fund a delivery, buy water directly, or help repair wells and water systems? Reach out.

You don’t have to take on the whole problem to help with part of it.

The next time you head up to enjoy those mountains, remember the people still trying to survive in them.

Message me to get involved. Share this to help us find the people and resources. We need all hands and hearts.
