I don't understand why this story isn't bigger news. Eighteen students in Yancey County, Western North Carolina attend a carpentry class at their high school. After their county was hit hard by Hurricane Helene, these students asked their teacher if they could build tiny homes for the victims. These students decided to use their skills to help those in need. For the rest of the school year, these 18 students will be building four tiny homes for people who lost theirs in the storm. Instead of just going to class and getting their grade, these students are going above and beyond to help people they don't even know. They deserve recognition for their efforts.

Volunteers from the Great Needs Trust, an Amish community in Pennsylvania, are helping rebuild Chimney Rock and Batcave after a storm. Over 2,000 volunteers have helped so far, and building materials have been donated. The volunteers are described as not just fixing buildings, but rebuilding a sense of community. They stated their hearts were drawn to help the people affected by the disaster. Volunteers expressed joy in watching people get their lives back and inspiration from seeing people pull together. Despite the work ahead, recovery is in motion, and the volunteers have become part of the town's future.

Regarding Hurricane Helene relief efforts in Western North Carolina, a speaker reported that a shelter required stranded refugees to have flip-flops to shower, so 18,000 pairs were delivered. The speaker claimed FEMA wanted to confiscate a pallet of chainsaws meant for locals clearing blocked roads, so it was diverted. Another shipment was rerouted to a neglected senior apartment complex after being stopped for inventory. The speaker asserted neighbors are helping neighbors and criticized government agencies for hindering aid. While expressing gratitude for support from NYPD, fire departments, linemen, and emergency personnel from across the country, the speaker also criticized the government's small financial aid offering. They called for massive supply drops of water, ATVs, chainsaws, and fuel, stating that Western North Carolina will recover with or without government assistance.

It's November 25th, and Laura and I are in western North Carolina, far from Chimney Rock. We've arrived at a base camp where people are living in tents. Each tent houses five individuals. One girl mentioned they ran out of firewood last night and were cold for most of the night. I'm here in Spruce Pine, where the situation is intense. Please continue to tag, repost, and share to raise awareness about what's happening in North Carolina.

A person's friend has been running trips to Western North Carolina to deliver medicine, food, and water, rescue people, and recover bodies. The speaker had claimed the government was interfering, but the friend said there was no malfeasance, just that the government was bloated and slow. However, a government entity arrived at the Hickory Airport and told them to immediately stop their flights and leave within two hours. The volunteers were sent home, and the company had to call in staff to pack up. Refrigerators full of insulin and breast milk had to be thrown away. No reason was given, and no one came to replace them. The speaker suggests that disaster responses are being controlled, and people should help others without seeking permission. The speaker believes we are approaching a time where actions will be for one side or the other, framing it as good versus evil.

I'm a pastor at Exeter Church, which we just purchased in May. After our dedication, a storm hit, and the need for help was immense. I stayed at the church for about three months, sleeping on the floor for weeks to support those affected. People from various states came to assist, but we received no government help. Our church quickly filled with supplies, and I plan to stay through the winter to help the community. One woman asked for a simple cup of coffee, and her gratitude reminded me that it's the little things that matter. Despite personal losses, like fallen trees, my focus remains on serving the needs of others. God is good, and I want to be there for those struggling, including my daughter, whose house is also damaged.

President Trump, the Amish community is reaching out to you. They are aware of your message and are ready to help America. Two Amish individuals contacted me, expressing their willingness to assist in rebuilding efforts across the country, especially after natural disasters. They mentioned your motto of making America great again and highlighted their ability to raise a barn—or a wall—in just one day. They were encouraged by your comments about reducing FEMA's role and are eager to step in and support recovery efforts. I'm tagging you in this video and have the contact information to connect you with the Amish community quickly if you're interested in collaborating.

I'm in Asheville, North Carolina, going door to door to check on people and offer supplies. We're distributing food and other necessities. We need to support our fellow Americans and neighbors. We must take care of our home, which is America. Regardless of where you live, if you can help those in need in other cities, please do so. We are here providing assistance.

Following the aftermath of Helene in the North Carolina mountains, looting has increased, driven by desperation due to lack of water in some communities. Citizens are stepping up to help, as trust in government and relief organizations has diminished. Communities are donating water, diapers, formula, and other supplies, delivered by trusted volunteers. Affected areas include Chimney Rock, Swannanoa, and Montreat, with significant damage and loss of generational homes. The geography and culture are at risk. People from other states are organizing donations and trucks. The Baptist organization out of Boone and Samaritan's Purse are trusted organizations on the ground. Prayers are requested for the affected and for those who have witnessed traumatic events. A 10-year-old boy, witnessing bodies and devastation, is being evacuated from the mountains.

On October 6, 2024, the speaker and a convoy of six trucks delivered over $10,000 worth of supplies to Western North Carolina, entering from Georgia through Columbus. A ranch in Columbus served as their rendezvous point for planning routes and gathering information. The speaker notes a lack of communication between towns receiving aid, with people relying on hearsay. The speaker also claims that contrary to some reports, the government is not providing assistance and FEMA is absent.

The speakers have 75 rocket stoves ready to be sent to North Carolina. They started building them recently and plan to finish this weekend. The stoves will be transported via U-Haul and distributed through the fire department or a distribution center due to the difficult conditions and ongoing search and rescue operations. The rocket stoves are now completed with help from local fabrication shops. Distribution will be handled through Samaritan's Purse. The speakers recommend using cast iron cookware, such as Dutch ovens, with the stoves for cooking soups and chilis. They plan to release a video demonstrating how to use the stoves, though many videos are already available. The stoves will be palletized, loaded onto a truck, and sent to North Carolina.

I'm in Asheville, North Carolina, doing disaster security and search and rescue for dialysis patients. This is a war zone, but the military isn't here, unlike during Hurricane Katrina. The American people should be angry at the government's inaction. People are hurting and dying. I saw young children searching for their parents and brought them to a church. The military is being restrained by DOD executives. The government isn't helping us, so we must take care of ourselves. Towns are self-policing. We need water, food, and clothes. I'm grateful for my motel room but feel guilty. A man was arrested for dropping off food in the mountains because he was supposedly interfering with a government operation, but there are no operations happening. It's sickening how the government treats Americans, offering minimal aid after sending billions overseas. Mayorkas is a traitor.

I believe that we all have angels in our lives, and these are my little angels from Antonio Placement Center in Constancia, Romania. The speaker describes the Romanian Angels Project as a means to show these children the true American heart during the holiday season. The central idea is to convey care and generosity across borders through a meaningful act that embodies American spirit. The speaker highlights that the best way to realize this goal was to have the United States military personally deliver the gifts, underscoring a hands-on, high-visibility form of support that pairs military presence with charitable giving. This approach is presented as a powerful gesture intended to create a memorable, heartwarming experience for the children. A concrete outcome is stated: all 75 children at the placement center had a present to open that day. The emphasis on every child receiving a gift indicates an inclusive, collective moment of joy and celebration, suggesting a successful execution of the project’s aims within the community. The narration then makes a broader reflection on the nature of charity, asserting that “sometimes the greatest charity comes from the most simple forms of kindness.” This line foregrounds the value of small, thoughtful acts as potent demonstrations of care, implying that generosity does not require grand gestures to have meaningful impact. The speaker continues by addressing the universal aspects of identity and circumstance, asserting that “it doesn't matter where you came from or what your weaknesses are or your strengths.” This statement reframes eligibility for kindness and support in terms of the presence of genuine care, rather than background or personal attributes. The concluding sentiment emphasizes the moral takeaway: “What matters is that you cared enough to change a child's life with a moment in time that they…” The sentence trails off, indicating an unfinished thought but signaling a belief that a single, timely intervention can alter a child’s life, at least in that moment. Overall, the message centers on honoring, through a combined act of international goodwill and military involvement, the impact of compassionate actions on Romanian children, encapsulated by the idea that simple kindness can be a powerful catalyst for positive change in a child’s life.

Following the aftermath of Helene in the North Carolina mountains, looting has increased due to desperation caused by lack of water in some communities. Citizens are stepping up to help because the government isn't coming to save them. People are donating water, diapers, formula, and other supplies, preferring to give to individuals over relief organizations due to a lack of trust. Affected towns like Chimney Rock, Swannanoa, and Montreat are gone or damaged beyond repair, changing the geography and endangering the culture and generational homes. People are encouraged to donate items, send them with friends, or connect with organizations gathering goods. The Baptist in Boone and Samaritan's Purse are trusted organizations. People are urged to pray for those affected, especially children who have witnessed traumatic scenes.

I spent the day with the US Army Corps of Engineers, who are ramping up debris removal efforts in Western North Carolina following an executive order from President Trump. They are coordinating with state and FEMA to mobilize resources quickly. In Swannanoa and Asheville, crews from across the country, including Wisconsin, are actively working. A local landowner noted a significant increase in activity after weeks of inactivity. He was surprised to see extensive equipment in the river, which he believes would have taken years and millions of dollars to achieve without this initiative. The community is relieved to see the cleanup of rivers and creeks, which have been in disarray, and the effort is expected to continue to grow.

After Hurricane Helene, nearly 40,000 volunteers gave their time to be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ. We equipped volunteers to muck out homes, like Christopher and Angela King's, providing tools and leadership. Volunteers put on Tyvek suits and helped carry the burden alongside those affected. As temperatures dropped, we provided winter clothing and fuel for generators, all free of charge. Many still needed housing, so we began rebuilding homes and mobile homes. After background and credit checks, we build them a new home free of charge or replace their mobile home. We presented Dimitru Gieska and his wife Dina with keys to a new work van after they lost everything. We want to walk alongside these families through this deep valley, not forcing religion, but sharing what Christ has done in our lives. We are building Wanda Robinson a new home in a different location after her home was beyond repair.

Twelve tiny homes are being built in the parking lot of Cornerstone Summit Baptist Church for families displaced by Hurricane Helene. An Amish crew, led by Aaron, constructed the homes in just two days, completing about 90% of the work. A local man from Pennsylvania initiated the project after witnessing the damage and organized support from his Amish community to raise funds and modify the homes to meet local codes. Each shelter will be fully furnished with beds and propane heaters. Senior pastor Reggie Hunt noted that interest in the homes has surged, and plans are in place for more construction in January to help those still living in tents in areas like Pensacola, Burnsville, and Elk Park, as the cold weather approaches. The Amish builders demonstrated an impressive and efficient system throughout the process.

Volunteers are needed to unload trucks, including a semi currently on site, and five more going to another location. Immediate needs include medical supplies, specifically insulin and colostomy bags, as well as diesel fuel. The organization is feeding 1500 people a day and is accepting donations at www.restorationchurchnc.org under "special offering" to directly support the local community in Swannanoa, Black Mountain, Montreat, and Burnsville. Monetary donations will stay local. Diesel fuel donations must be delivered in person to Restoration Church in Swannanoa, North Carolina, located off Interstate 40 at exit 59. Volunteers are also needed and will be provided with meals, including pancakes.

Precision Grading's owner is providing extensive construction and demolition work for free to those affected by Helene. He is demolishing a home in Batcave, helping residents find closure and a fresh start. While salvaging cherished items, he reflects on the importance of recovery. With his savings and community donations, he has built bridges and cleared roads, assisting those in dire need. He has helped elderly residents who were isolated for 90 days by constructing a river crossing. Currently, he is focused on a list of over 30 people needing assistance, with no end date in sight. The Community Foundation of Western North Carolina has distributed over $20 million, with $1.5 million allocated for emergency support to families. Donations can be made through a QR code displayed on the screen.

Following Hurricane Helene, Samaritan's Purse deployed volunteers to assist affected communities. Over 40,000 volunteers provided support, including mucking out homes, providing winter clothing and fuel, and helping with rebuilding efforts. Aaron Ashoff oversees the Helene incident management team. The organization provides these services free of charge. Samaritan's Purse also replaced Dimitru Gieska's work van after he lost his home and vehicles. They conduct background and credit checks to ensure the accuracy of information provided by aid recipients before building them a new home or replacing their mobile home. Wanda Robinson, whose home was damaged beyond repair, will receive a new home built by Samaritan's Purse. Volunteers aim to provide physical help and spiritual support, sharing their faith through their actions without forcing their religion on anyone.

Till last night, despite the cold and darkness, we worked to help those affected by Helene. The owner of Precision Grading is providing thousands of dollars in free construction and demolition work. He’s demolishing a home in Batcave that was swept away, helping bring closure to the community. He’s also recovering cherished items, like a chandelier and a beloved book. With personal savings and donations, he’s built bridges for those in need, including elderly residents who hadn’t been able to leave their homes for 90 days. He’s now focused on helping over 30 people who have nowhere else to turn. The Community Foundation of Western North Carolina has distributed over $20 million, with $1.5 million going to ABCCM for emergency support. Donations can be made through the QR code on the screen.

Day 10 after the hurricane in North Carolina, the speaker is at an airport in Boone, where Elon Musk provided several hundred Starlink units. The speaker is deploying in a second wave on Blackhawk helicopters into isolated areas to deliver the units. The first deployment will provide internet access for prescriptions and allow residents to communicate their needs. Upon arrival, locals reported that no aid, including FEMA, had reached them yet, and they felt abandoned.

Since the hurricane hit, North Carolina has received no help from any organization except Mark Robinson. Every organization is shutting them down, putting chains on their supplies, and stopping their pilots. FEMA has not appeared. All assistance has been citizen-led, with pilots paying for their own gas for over 400 flights. Mark Robinson is the only one who has stood beside the state.

My husband took supplies to North Carolina to assist an organization. A friend in Swannanoa said the actual death toll is much higher than reported. Thirty-six bodies were found in one embankment, and bodies are being found in trees. Looting has begun. The situation is worse than people realize. Prayers are requested for those affected and those helping. I will provide updates as I hear from Matt.

I’m a pastor at Exeter Church, which we just purchased in May. After our dedication, a storm hit, and the need for help was immense. I stayed at the church for three months, even sleeping on the floor for weeks to support those affected. People came from all over the country to assist, while we received no government help. Our church quickly filled with supplies, making it hard to move around. I plan to stay through the winter to continue helping. A woman asked for a simple cup of coffee, and her tears reminded me that it’s the little things that matter most. Despite personal losses, like downed trees, my focus remains on serving the community. God is good, and I’m here for the people in need.
