The devastation in Unicoi/Erwin, Elizabethton, and Asheville (all if WNC) is truly other worldly.
I know we all have financial demands, and if you arent part of this community you may not feel a sense of connection. Being from here, its a place we choose to live and raise our kids. Arguably the most beautiful place in US.

The areas impacted by this flooding, are generally not well to do. Therefore, losses are perhaps tougher on these commmunities.

We gave because it truly is a disaster, and in MANY instances complete loss. There are entire Cities, that no longer exist.
Samaritans Purse is based in Boone. They are offering a local response to both areas. Give what you can, if you feel compelled. Just know, what is being reported is true, and probably worse.
There are other ways to give like United Way, Appalachian Service Project, local churches...ASP is located in JC.
