On Struggle & Need

 

Two months after Helene hit North Carolina with heavy rains resulting in massive flood damage, the situation in the areas surrounding Ashville remains dire.  The people who live and work in that region are contending with a huge, close to unimaginable and unmanageable mess.  They're presently in need of help, intervention, and an infusion of the material and means to move forward with cleanup before rebuilding can take place.  The video above, showing drone footage of the damage yet to be dealt with, lays it out like this: 

"There are 3 primary needs right now! First is building material for all the buildings and homes devastated by the hurricane. Next is big machinery, bulldozers, dump trucks, excavators to clean debris. Lastly money so we can see a need and fulfill that need.''

We've been able to connect through Samaritan's Purse, with other places to contribute listed with the video.  Even though it's likely more work can be accomplished through private sector contributions than  realized with government involvement, it appears as though this administration is intentionally looking away from some obvious and legitimate needs right here at home.
