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: Mskatonic138@gmail.com 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: MutualAidDisasterRelief@gmail.com 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!

We spent a lot of time last night hand carrying hundreds of gallons of water out of the basement and when we woke up today it was a foot - 2ft flooded. We need a pump to get the water out and it’s gonna set us back 400 dollars minimum, and we have to go thru and look how to fix all the electric down there and figure that sum once it’s safe to enter on top of a new wash drier dehumidifier and furnace. If u can’t help that’s ok!! but pls spread, I know there are more important things rn ofc but we live under a man who is kind of terrifying and I just cant rlly deal with that.

I would very much love to know the process behind the transformation of dad’s disgust in inside out 2 like genuinely what happened in the life of mr. andersen to cause this

Unlearned internalised toxic masculinity. No longer disgusted by own feminine traits. Good for him.
