Help Western North Carolina Post Hurricane Helene

Supporting those impacted by Hurricane Helene⁣

My friends, this is your chance to make a real difference! The devastation left by Hurricane Helene in Western North Carolina is beyond words, and our communities need us more than ever.⁣

We're rallying together to collect essential items for those affected. Let’s show up in a BIG way and fill our trucks with love and generosity! Every donation counts. From your donation here to non-perishable food, clothing, toiletries, and baby supplies—let’s come together to bring relief and hope to those who need it most. Let’s do this, y’all! Together, we can make a huge impact. ❤️

About Hurricane Helene's Impact on Western North Carolina:

  • This was a storm and affect of Biblical proportion. There is no other way to characterize it. I don’t know why the coverage has been so muted but I will say a huge thanks to Brad Panovich Meteorologistfor using his platform to find people and North Carolina's Weather Authority for county by county work. 
  • People are missing. Towns are gone. The geography has been rewritten. Search for the photos and video from those who found a way to post them. Know that anyone who has a tie to our mountains is hurting but we pray in specific for the neighbors we have not yet found.
  • YOU are helping. Since this hit on Thursday into Friday (September 27, 2024), I have seen so many creating food and water drives and every bit is appreciated. You are supporting this along with me and we raised enough money yesterday to really dial in and help. (I promise, I will get thank you notes sent — we got a huge response) We will continue collecting items and the need is greater than we grasp yet.

This is the official fundraiser from Leigh Thomas Brown. We will continue to update needs and opportunites on our webpage. Contact me and my team for more information: 704-621-3464 or Hello@LeighBrown.com

We WILL respond to your request, but please be patient as we are accepting donations and loading/unloading trucks!

I know this isn't much but maybe it will help with supplies or whatever is needed for the temporary homes that are being built.

October 18th, 2024

The outpouring for western NC has been amazing! To hear what we have been providing so far, please listen to my latest update on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/p/DBNYEXBx-7O/

And Here's What's NEXT:

We’re in planning stages for a build project that will take place in approximately two weeks where we are going to build small sheds that can be used as shelter until houses are repaired. Our goal is 50 of these small buildings and as soon as we secure the parking lots for the project, you can also come help build with us! Our neighbors don’t want to leave their homes so we’re gong to make sure they can stay somewhere better than a tarp or tent during the winter.

Update 10/9/24

October 10th, 2024

Where are your dollars are going? We are providing generators and dehumidifiers to those houses we can save but which will be without power for what might be weeks. With the FEMA check of $750 and a small generator being $1000, you can see the need is immediate. Keep it coming, keep the faith, keep praying.
