The situation in Appalachia, particularly parts of western NC, remains dire. The devastation wrought by Hurricane Helene is massive. There have literally been hundreds of dead bodies recovered so far, with the final death toll expected to potentially be in the thousands by the time all are found. Much of the region, especially parts of western NC, remains largely unsearched. Entire towns have been destroyed. Roads, bridges, and other infrastructure have been destroyed. Some areas are expected to to be without power for six months or more.
See the Grindstone Ministries YouTube channel for more updates:
Want to help Appalachia recover from Helene? Consider donating to or volunteering with the folks at Grindstone Ministries. They have "boots on the ground" in Eastern Tennessee and and are also surreptitiously moving some supplies into parts of Western NC. I say "surreptitiously" because FEMA is doing their best to NOT allow supplies and volunteers into western NC that are not under their direct control. It is a bureaucratic nightmare and people are suffering because of it.. Grindstone will be sending more volunteers, supplies and equipment into the region in the coming weeks and months.
Grindstone Ministries - A disaster relief ministry that provides disaster cleanup & construction services and critical materials distribution in the aftermath of natural disasters, such as tornados and hurricanes.
