Many areas in western North Carolina and Tennessee have experienced devMany areas in western North Carolina and Tennessee have experienced devastating losses due to Hurricane Helene dumping unimaginable amounts of water in just a 24 hour period. Some areas had over 30 inches of rain in this short period which caused widespread flooding, mudslides, and massive casualties. While many areas now have ample food and bottled water supplies, it became apparent that there is a large need for housing for the thousands of individuals who lost their homes to flooding, tree damage and mudslides. There are hundreds of families living in tents on what is left of their property. Others are fortunate to be living with family temporarily. While in many circumstances, insurance will help homeowners rebuild, this is not the case for most of the families in this region. Because this flood was such an extreme event, and homes were not in flood plains, many homes had no flood insurance and therefore aren’t covered. Even those with coverage may be facing a long time before funding is approved. Local volunteers went down with loads of supplies to determine how to most effectively leverage resources to help. It was quickly realized that temporary housing solutions for families are an enormous need. Their initial goal is to raise enough funds to purchase 5 travel trailers. They plan to purchase newer/used campers with the help of CH Waltz RV. Their hope is to have Camp Susque help them as a non-profit partner to collect the funds they need to purchase these travel trailers. Compassion Campers currently has contact with two non-profit’s located within the devastated area to determine those who need housing due to losing their home in the flooding/mudslide. The first organization is Big Meadow Baptist Church in Newland NC. Their contact is Pastor Keith Russell. The second organization is Cajun Navy, a rapid rescue and relief volunteer organization that is stationed in Black Mountain, NC and is working directly with the county to provide immediate emergency needs. The first 3 requests all come from Newland NC. These homes were all destroyed in a mudslide.The first is a family of 5- husband, wife and 3 children- 10,7, and 4 years old.The second is a husband and wife. The 3rd is a widow who tragically lost her husband in the mudslide. They potentially have 5 more families from this town and are waiting on more details from the school. When they spoke with Ellen, the coordinator with the Cajun Navy, she informed them that in just their area there were over 100 requests for housing. As they can raise money and meet these first 3 needs, they can get more details on others which are in need. They currently have volunteers available to haul trailers to North Carolina. Depending on funding, they could get a camper there next weekend! Psalm 46:1-3 is the vision for the work that they are doing: God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.
