Providing Life Saving Heat to Victims of Hurricane Helene in Western North Carolina
Giving Warmth & Hope Throughout the Region
Meeting Urgent Winter Needs
HELP US KEEP HURRICANE HELENE VICTIMS WARM THIS WINTER
The mountain regions of Western North Carolina (WNC) are facing an unprecedented crisis. Large number of families are without power and heat, and winter has already set in with freezing temperatures and snow.
The catastrophic damage caused by Hurricane Helene has left many residents of Western North Carolina in life-threatening conditions. Power restoration in some areas is projected to take months, leaving families without heat through the coldest winter months.
With many roads and driveways still washed out or blocked with limited access, some power poles needing to be flown in by helicopter and where power restoration could take months , the situation is dire. Winter temperatures have already hit the region and snow has begun to fall. This is a life and death situation for these impacted residents, many that don’t have electricity or heat. There have already been reports of deaths due to hypothermia.
This is where you have the chance to save lives by donating to our urgent mission to provide generators, fuel, propane heaters, propane, needed accessories and more to affected residents. Will you please join our mission by making a financial donation today?
