Never was there a tale of more sad than that of Hamlet and his spooky dad

I don't know if I have any followers on here who are in the Western North Carolina area, but if you're in there or know somebody who's in or around there who may be looking for news but has poor or limited Internet access due to Helene knocking everything out, Blue Ridge Public Radio offers a text-only version of live updates from their site, which will load much faster and easier on a poor connection!

Hurricane Helene Relief Funds

Brother Wolf Animal Rescue operates out of Asheville, which has been hit aggressively by storm and flood damage

The Asheville Survival Program is reaching out. They appear to actually be the ones who use the Cashapp $Streets1de, and they just got put with Appalachian Med for convenience.

Beloved Asheville is reaching out. www.PayPal.me/belovedasheville and venmo.com/beloved-asheville

Homeward Bound helps the homeless in the Asheville/Buncombe area

Theres a fund for smaller rural communities around Asheville. It's close to its goal, but I really wish they'd set it higher considering what people are gonna need. Someone make sure they surpass it!

Charlotte NC is reaching out. Charlotte Mutual Aid: Helene Disaster Relief. CashApp: MutualAid704. Venmo: MutualAid704. Open Collective: Helene.cltfnb.com

Olive Branch Ministry is reaching out from West NC

Josh Griffith is fundraising for his efforts to deliver food in WNC

Breathitt County in Kentucky is fundraising to help NC through the Rousseau Volunteer Fire Department, as well as asking for physical supply donations. Their paypal is jrousseauvfd, put "for NC flood". Jaxon Flower shop in Jackson KY will also take physical donations. They aren't looking for clothes, moreso cleaning supplies and other items.

North Durham Mutual Aid is reaching out.

Eastern Kentucky Mutual Aid is also reaching out for funds. There looks like there might be two orgs with similar names, but if so both are helping. There's PayPal.me/ekymutualaid, Venmo - @ekymutualaid, or Cashapp - $ekymutualaid. There's also a Facebook group where individuals are posting requests for aid.

There's a fund for relief in Erwin, Tennessee

Helbender Harm Reduction is collecting physical supplies in Knoxville alongside First Aid Collective Knoxille, whose Cashapp/Venmo is: $firstaidcollectknox. If you're nearby they're looking for clothes, blankets, shelf stable food, rain gear, flashlights, and batteries, which is what most other groups asking for supplies are looking at too.

The TriCities Mutual Aid group is mostly asking for volunteers and supplies in the Tennessee/Virginia area. However, they may shift to donations, and you can reach out to them to see if they would be welcome either way.

Food Not Bombs Tallahassee has a cashapp: $fnbtally2022. They and Mutual Aid Athens are also boosting any community calls for funds, labor, or supplies in various states on their Instagram pages

Taylor County FL is reaching out. Paypal: [email protected] and Venmo @Mskatonic138

The Footprint project's Florida team is asking for people to support their response by texting HELENE to 44-321

Since I don't know if the post I made late last night will get traction I'll reiterate that Mutual Aid Disaster Relief is a trusted org. You can send funds at the linked site, or via Paypal: [email protected] Or Venmo: @MutualAidDisasterRelief

Appalachian Med is another trusted org I shared last night. They have Venmo: @AppMedSolid. Put Flood Support in the description

Animal Disaster Relief Coalition is helping people make sure their animals are fed.

A list of Mutual Aid groups can be found here

A friend of mine, Vyn, is asking for help since he'll be out of power for around a week in Southeast GA

Other physical supplies people will be looking for in flood impacted areas include:

bottled water, potentially water filters

personal hygiene items: wipes, camping showers, tampons/pads/other menstrual products, handsanitizer, mosquito spray, laundry detergent, washboards, toilet paper, diapers, and especially any products safe for sensitive skin

medications- ibuprofen, monistat and other meds for yeast infections, cold and cough meds, any diabetic meds that can be safely shared, etc

individually wrapped low or no prep food items, baby formula, and Gatorade

duffel bags, backpacks, heavy duty storage totes and trash bags, 5 gallon buckets, coolers

Fans, dehumidifiers, moisture sensors, generators, gas and gas cans, solar charging items and battery banks, first aid kits

chainsaws, crowbars, hammers, air filters, respirators, 2×4 planks, bleach, roofing nails, heavy duty gloves, and potentially waders.

and board games or other non electric activities for children

Double check if you can before you donate these items to make sure whatever local drive you're headed to wants them and can distribute the more specialized ones where they're needed

And please! Add any funds you know of, especially for South Carolina and North Georgia since I wasn't seeing many funds for those areas! I know South Carolina is in desperate need and there's definitely parts of North Georgia in need too. Atlanta saw some bad flooding so keep an eye for them too!

Piggybacking on this: it’s another Asheville one, but that’s where I know people.

So the small fiber optic company currently running most of Asheville’s internet (ERC) is currently running out of resources. My cousin, who works there, has been working essentially every day as soon as he wakes up to when he gets to bed. They connect hospitals and first responders, among other things, and do need help.

Helene Recovery and Rebuild In the wake of the unprecedented devastation caused by Hurricane Helene, ERC Broadband is issuing an urgent plea

please boost if you cannot contribute—the destruction in appalachia is devastating and our infrastructure was not equipped to handle this kind of disaster.

Mountain Mule Packers are also out there, taking supplies to whoever they can! Their venmo is linked on their facebook page, I'm not sure if they've been vetted, but my sister knows someone who works on their team, and they are actually out there doing the work (both the people and the mules).

Using mules to get out to these areas is sometimes the only way to get there, since so many roads and access points are completely wiped out. They're able to get to areas that helicopters aren't able to reach due to tree cover, and the mule teams can traverse difficult terrain much faster and more easily than any vehicle. They're bringing medicine, food, and other supplies to people who are stranded, and working with the fire department to make sure they're covering as many inaccessible areas as they can.

(they also have a lot of pictures and videos of their mules on their facebook if you want to see the fuzzy little ears)

Thanks so much 🥺🍉🇵🇸

The problem with people my age faking that they don't have a Facebook is that when you ACTUALLY delete it, nobody believes you. Like, I haven't interacted with Facebook since... ? I think I finally deleted it in 2019.

Everyone talks over me about it like somehow I've spent 5 years on a lurk page ludicrously rubbing my hands together from a catfish account to lurk them AND I KNOW that's what they do but I'm horrified by that.

That's a lot of effort, fake followers, fake profiles, it's almost impressive. I have other hobbies that demand my time. Naps to have. Snacks to eat. So busy.
