If anyone has funds to spare, I want to remind SurvivalBlog readers that the communities in Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee are still suffering the devastation from Hurricane Helene. Since our government failed these people, We The People have responded en masse to take care of them. There are people still living in tents as the snow starts to fall. Many many people have donated trailers, Buddy heaters, blankets, clothing, and food to help keep these families intact.
You may ask why those people are still living in those devastated areas. Many have no other place, or the funds, to go somewhere else; many feel that if they leave their property, the government will come in and take it; if they ask for help, CPS will swoop in and take their children. It is a very dire situation. Many local organizations and churches are in the thick of it. So many people have donated [tangible supplies] that they have run out of warehouse space. So now they are asking for only monetary donations so they can meet the very specific needs of each family and their children. Thank you and may the Lord bless you and yours through this season.
This gentleman has kept us all updated on his YouTube channel: Deep River Farm.
