I took a walk around the apartment property where I am staying and found this old road up the mountain. I lost internet yesterday; so I am posting this morning.
I also assisted the Red Cross at a nearby Community Care Distribution Center via Handson Asheville. I met wonderful, caring folks during the shift. The Red Cross provided free food, water, showers, toiletries, cleaning supplies, internet, laundry, counseling, etc. Every volunteer encountered their own inconvenience after Helene. However, several of the patrons who came by to enjoy the benefits, shared with us their stories of loss that far outweighed our inconveniences. They left comforted with a smile after unloading their grief, taking a hot shower, a car load of supplies and more.
Several folks from a nearby sorting center visited the shower. During our conversation, they mentioned that they could use more assistance. I am going there today.
