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 from Hurricane Helene.
WHAT IS HAPPENING
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.
WHAT ARE WE DOING
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.

Our Projects
With both the frequency and intensity of natural disasters on the rise around the globe, there’s an urgent need for organizations like ours to respond and help impacted communities recover. With your help, when a natural disaster strikes, we’ll arrive early and stay late to address the immediate and long-term needs of affected-communities. Please join us with a donation, partnership or interest to volunteer.
Covid-19
The homeless need access to COVID-19 testing and medical care. One rapid response blood test is $25. One individual quarantine shift pod and bed for the homeless is $500. Any amount helps this great cause.
Bahamas Restoration
What started as an initial drop off of supplies has turned into a large scale operation to rebuild these broken communities from the ground up with continued relief, temporary housing, and spiritual support.
Shiftpods
Mobilizing shelter via Shiftpods is the fundamental focus of our organization. With 750 donated, we are able to house over 5,000 people. Our goal is to see no family or individual without shelter or a temporary home. Please help us purchase more shiftpods.
