Getting In the Mud with People

 









My love for Western North Carolina runs deep. I spent a lot of time there in college, seeing shows, wandering the aisles of health food stores, buying life altering books, and hiking beautiful trails in the Blue Ridge Mountains. To this day, I always feel like my most authentic self in Asheville. 

After the hurricane hit, a friend and I decided to take a last minute trip to lend a helping hand with whatever was needed. We ended up in Asheville, Burnsville, and Marshall where we rescued plants, picked up and dropped off supplies, and mucked out insane amounts of mud from a church and restaurant. It was a sobering and meaningful three days. Hoping to get back there again as these communities repair and rebuild.

If you're looking for ways to help from afar, I recommend supporting ROAR, Beloved Asheville, and the Nanostead.
