Update 11-12-2024

by Hannah Soboleski, Organizer

To say that we are grateful is such an understatement. Because of you, we have raised over $41,000 for Paws Mobile Veterinary!!

Thanks to your generous donations and help from our friends at Lil Bub, we've ALMOST hit our goal and Dr. Dragon was able to put a deposit down on a new van yesterday!!!

We're SO CLOSE to reaching our goal: all we need now is a few thousand more in monetary donations, some cabinets to build out the van, a little bit more supplies, and a wrap and they are SET!

✨ If you are able, please consider donating to our GoFundMe so that we can reach our $50,000 goal. The link is right here: https://gofund.me/4fc79091

✨ Please also consider purchasing some items off of their Amazon wishlist to replace much-needed supplies lost. You can do that here: https://a.co/dP9fXDp

Thank you so so much for stepping up and supporting Paws during this horrific event. We cannot express how much we appreciate you. #WNCStrong

4/4 👉Single, scattered tree damage is difficult to quantify from the air.
While we have seen some other damaging wind events affect our timber resource in recent decades, this may be the most damaging wind event we have seen in North Carolina since Hurricane Fran in 1996 (Eastern North Carolina) and Hurricane Hugo in 1989 (Western North Carolina). Ground observations by personnel within the damaged areas and pictures coming out of these areas reinforce the observations made. #HeleneNC #WNCStrong #ncwx

Misinformation is 'really hurting' those in western North Carolina, Gov. Cooper says

92 people are still unaccounted for in the state.

I almost exclusively give blood to other organizations rather than to The Red Cross because I am not a fan of their leaders in Europe/ME, but the ARC workers that have been doing everything they possibly can for Western NC recovery has been mind changing for me. At least today.

Think about giving at your local drive.

It doesn't hurt. At all. Even when they have to poke you twice 🙃

In the coming days and weeks clearing debris will become an important focus of our recovery efforts. Debris needs to be separated into these six categories in order to be properly collected.
✔️ Large appliances
✔️ Construction debris
✔️ Vegetative debris
✔️ Hazardous waste
✔️ Electronics
✔️ Household waste

Just Joined! I live in Asheville, NC area. The destruction and devastation in our area is unimaginable. We still have no power but we are using a generator. Git water back last Thursday. No wifi. Cell coverage was non existent until a week ago. Still not good but better. We were fortunate and had no damage to our home. We are hanging in there! Thankful to all of the local, state and federal assistance! We are getting much needed help but this will take years to rebuild. #WNCSTRONG
