I was born in Western North Carolina and lived there till I was 15. Since then, East Tennessee has been my home. I’ve just returned from Europe, and was brought to tears from all the images and videos showing the destruction in my home town of Marion North Carolina and the all the people I love in the neighboring areas of East Tennessee and Western North Carolina who are facing immediate need and will face hardships in the coming months in their efforts to rebuild.
Now it’s time to focus on raising funds and gathering supplies for East Tennessee and Western North Carolina.
My friends and I are working to support relief efforts by hosting benefit shows, collecting donations, and sharing resources. If you can donate supplies—fuel, baby formula, cleaning items, anything—it’ll make a big difference.
I’m committed to helping and will keep sharing updates on how you can contribute. Below is a list of reliable and trustworthy links that will give you quick access to relief efforts to support those in need in East Tennessee and Western North Carolina.
