NORTH CAROLINA FLOOD RELIEF

9/27/24

Hitting landfall as a Cat. 4 hurricane in the Big Bend region of Florida, Helene left catastrophic destruction in its wake as it roared north. Though eventually downgraded to a tropical storm, Helene became the worst storm to hit N Carolina and Tenn in over 100 years, sweeping away roads, bridges, homes and livelihoods. Whole towns were swallowed up by the flood waters, destroying all access in and out of parts of western NC.

Amurtel has a team on the ground in the Asheville/ Marshall areas of NC, and we will continue to provide aid and support to those who have lost their homes and everything they owned.

Please give what you can as we help these communities get through this heartbreaking time.
