INSPIRING HOPE THROUGH ACTION
The Love & Life Foundation works tirelessly to provide search and rescue, first-aid, evacuation and other basic necessities in the wake of a crisis. Following most natural disasters, situations are dire and thousands of people need food, water and medical attention. Love & Life is a 501C3 that fills the transportation gap between NGOs and larger government organizations by providing these basic necessities via helicopter, plane, and boat.
HURRICANE HELENE
NORTH CAROLINA DISASTER RELIEF
We recently deployed 300 Starlink satellites in partnership with SpaceX, Medic Corps, and City Serve to provide internet service to regions that have not had contact with the outside world since the storm. We have successfully distributed these Starlinks with a priority focus on emergency services. However, we realize the need is still great for WNC residents, emergency services, and others.
WHAT IS HAPPENING
40 TRILLION GALLONS OF RAINFALL
Hurricane Helene made landfall in the United States on 9/26 and began is destructive path throughout the west coast of Florida and a vast portion of the Southeastern United States. Western North Carolina was devastated by some 40 trillion gallons of rainfall that caused dam failure, mass flooding, landslides, mass power and water outages, and many other disasters. Asheville, NC and the surrounding communities were particularly affected due to their geographic location and the surrounding mountain ranges. Communities, fire departments, police stations, emergency medical service, and many other essential public services are without power, internet, water, or food. The crisis is still ongoing and is receiving very little government intervention. As the days drag on, it is imperative to get essential items to these people.
