Our entire town was wiped out by a f5 tornado. Samaritans purse came and are still here 3 yrs later they've built homes installed shelters , counseled, prayed for us but they stayed!!!! Its been so awesome having them help when frankly the state and fema did what little they do and leave.
Fema doesn't do what Samaritans purse can. They are NOT a boots on the ground rescue. They provide cash and sign people up for grants and loans to rebuild where possible. Even the real estate is gone along with the roads. Individual municipality and churches are what sets up the immediate temporary support for people because they know the areas affected
We give to Samaritans purse. They do so so much and they follow through, not just there for a few days. They are also, in most cases, first boots on the ground.
its not surprising as those leading us Expect just that,,they step in to spew what and how its going to be,but when those country folk that out numbers them that know and fema knows they have more knowledgeable skills at taking care of their own than anyone else,,they tuck their tails and go back to their hideouts. The only 1's I have ever seen respond and usually 1st on scene Samaritans Purse and Operation Blessing,,but not seen O.B. lately,but SP is the 1 to support as they go over and beyond. Fema should step down totally and let SP do their willingness and Pay them, and they don't need the instructors that can't wait to leave a scene.All My heart and Love goes out to all affected,my roots are from Cherokee and still have cousins never met all through those mtns. Hard to sleep at night,knowing its chilling down there, elders can't tolerate sometimes as young 1's do. May All have whatever is needed and heal as much as possible and ,soon.❤
I was here for Art and Bri, Bri From Scratch and hoping for great success for A Place Called Home. I have prayed so much for your family and seeing the prayers of mine and many others being answered is really encouraging to me. ❤
Prayers answered, that Bri from Scratch can become a part along the Way of your now Reintegrated Journey. Great to see you both able to give assistance, as a united team, a healing balm in itself to all of the family. Love and Blessings. 💜💙💚💫
My heart was moved by your sincere desire to help your Nurse Elizabeth who lost her home shared with her daughter. Hurricane Helene was truly a catastrophe of biblical proportions. I lived through many horrendous hurricanes in FL but nothing compares with this destruction. Lord, we are here to help. Please keep inspiring us what You want us to do. God bless you all and thanks to Bri & Art for reaching out to their community.
Praising the Lord that your family is ok. And also just how beautiful it is that the Lord brought you two back together as a family for such a time as this! You make an absolutely beautiful couple, serving together and glorifying the Lord! 🙏💖
So glad to hear this ... A new name and a new adventure.... Together as it is meant to be.. Art and Bri.. you both are amazing people.. so full of compassion and knowledge.... We love you Bri and Art and Kids !!
Donated. Bri I was crying while you were telling your birth story. I had a nurse that was such a balm during my scary tragic miscarriage 30 years ago. So nice for you to be able to show your deep appreciation.
I love that you are really uniting as a family again with the future channel changes! " A Place Called Home" will be a wonderfil concept! I'll still be sticking around for sure and certain!! I pray you will BE BLEESED BEYOND BELIEF!
I saw you work on Justin Rhodes' hay barn and also heard you mention going out to help someone figure out thier spring in the farm visit video. These types of "little" things are monumental for the individuals involved. In someone else's video, he had a roofing guy with his truck next door or a couple of doors down. He walked up to the guy and they spent a day removing a big oak from his roof and getting it tarped up; I think some other neighbors helped. In turn they worked on other houses in the neighborhood because at the time no one was leaving home because of the multiple road conditions. And yes, the "little" things like hay for one person, Starlink for another, chainsaw bar oil and 2 cycle oil, etc... are the world for those trying to hang on.
Absolutely! Last year in Jan/Feb we had massive flooding and then right on the heels of that a freak snowstorm (we get maybe an inch every 2-3 years) that left almost a foot of snow and knocked trees and power lines down all over. Random neighbors showed up and cut the trees in the roads, it took over 3 days to clear them, and another 3 or 4 to get the power lines restored. I had torn my rotator cuff in my shoulder and only had one useable arm at the time ( all healed now). Neighbors who could get out to the power that was still on, walked in and brought me a charged phone charger, filled my stove propane tank, and loaned me a generator after mine was destroyed by a fallen tree. Don't particularly like California, but I am blessed with great neighbors! PS This was also after years in a row of evacuations due to wildfires.
I am so thankful for all the hearts that have been touched & motivated to donate. PLEASE…don’t let that heartfelt touch get forgotten! As they have stated here and on various channels that the needs that change daily will be there for weeks, months and possibly years 😢 Thank you, Art & Bri for getting that message out 💗
Looking forward to the vids from "A Place Called Home". Just throw us a home cooking video once in a while Bri. :) They make me happy. Love to all of you, for who you are and for what you do.
Art, I've loved your reporting and outreach to your community. I've watched your videos for years and have gotten to know that your roots are in the hills & country around you. You showed us that every little bit counts, starting with manual labor to delivering propane and pet food out to the isolated. Your knowledge of the area & guiding others into the nooks & crannies is a fantastic resource.
Thank you for doing the videos. These are the only way the public can see what is going on and how to help. I’m in Virginia and our local churches are organizing supplies and people to come to NC to volunteer.
I just donated to Elizabeth. Nurses are angels in disguise. I had one many years ago, and my husband had one two years ago. We will always be grateful for those two. I believe it was their care that pulled us through. Thank you for this video and best wishes going forward to you both. ❤️❤️
We love Samaritians Purse.. We personally donated and also our church is sending supplies and people up to the Mountains... We are in Hillsborough, NC a few hours from the mountains .. Thank you Art and Bri !!
I've watched for years and am glad that you are both healing to the point that you are tackling life together. Your help for the families of the disaster is what I would expect from both of you and you didn't disappoint. We are praying for our friends and yours in the area and their long road ahead.
Good of you to give her a shout out and because we who live far away don't really know how/who to help. A personal recommendation is good to know for sure that someone really really needs it. Bless you all and glad you all are okay!
I started following at the beginning of Bri from scratch with that really hard car video. I'm so thankful God blessed you with such a redemptive story and that He continues to. ❤️💕 Have had you on my heart from that moment and am so happy you are now getting to step back and focus more on your family and all the amazing things you do ❤️
Btw, the way you spoke and honored in that video exemplified the woman I want to be. Even when I didn't have time to watch a video - would often play yours in the background and like it just to help your algorithm. Believe there are many who support you and your family and are so happy for the work God's done for you ❤️❤️
I love both of you and your family so much. I will follow you wherever you go. Thank you for sharing the difficult story about your community. It reminds me to pray. God bless everyone❤
Been with you guys since you were expecting your second son. Watching them all grow and mature makes me feel like part of the family. I'm not going anywhere no matter how many times you change the name. I do like the new one though. God bless 🙏 you all during this tumultuous time.
I didn't drop off. I thank you for sharing your heart..Bri do what you need to do for your family. None of us can do it all. I love the new name of the channel. See you next time.
My son-in-law works at the Samaritan’s Purse in Wilkesboro and is currently there in Asheville. He works on the medical side of it and has traveled all over the world with them. So I’m glad you are encouraging people to contact them. My husband wants to be there so badly,but he’s 71 and has lung issues (plus he’s taking care of me because I just had surgery Friday), and was saying even if he just picked up trash, he could help. He volunteered with cleanup from Katrina so he knows what to expect. I’m glad you are sharing this update. The media is trying to minimize it but those of us who know people there know it’s much worse than they are telling us. You are all in our prayers. - Sue Sweeten in AZ
Thank you for your family member working for Samaritan's Purse! Such a wonderful organization that really knows what they're doing. I'm in a county in Northern California which had so many fires/evacuations that 60% of my county burned. Red Cross was so bad that many residents camped in our parks, pulled together for supplies and did mass cooking for everyone.
Bri,I’m so happy that you guys are together again and working things out. I don’t know about the rest of your viewers but I like watching you Gardening, cook,cleaning anything. Please don’t turn your show over to Author,it’s you we Love ❤️
First, Bri has expressed a need to not have the pressure of filming and supporting the family on her plate for a time. Second, there ate many of us who love both Art and Bri. I hope that it will end up being a good blend of them both as time goes on.
Art and Bri, I am so sorry that your area has been stricken so hard by Hurricane Helene. I know that we had an event in 1982, where we had 13" of rain within a couple of hours. I had to drive by and pick up my husband at the cabinet shop where he worked. He wasn't quite ready to leave because they were putting a number of wooden (cherry, oak, etc.) custom-built pantries, vanities, and custom-built kitchen cabinets up on concrete blocks to try to keep them out of the water which was flooding into the building. The electricity went out and we were wading water. A sudden rise in the water levels of the parking lot, and only by the brave guys who worked with my husband, who had a very large four-wheel drive pickup truck and towed my car sort of up a hill out of the flood waters which would have ruined the car. We waded water 3.5 feet deep to get out of the shop. One subdivision was flooded that day, and just after a couple of days, another torrential storm a few days later, ruining the repairs that had already been initiated. So I have a little (very little) idea of what you are going through. I am so thankful that your area is pulling together to get through the horrible storm. I wish all of you the very best. It's very irritating to me that FEMA has failed the people of North Carolina.
P. S. Our prayers for you and your family, and for all of those in North Carolina who were severely impacted by Hurricane Helene. May God bless you and yours always and keep you safe.
It’s such a bad time for such a disaster to happen too. We usually help (even though are low income) but can’t financially contribute anymore. Our landlord is selling is finding a rental home with 7 kids is impossible, home prices unaffordable. Now, we are low income but I know people making 6 figures and even they are complaining about the tough economy.
I love everything y’all are doing. Y’all are letting us know what is going on and how we can really help. Praying for y’all and everyone affected by the hurricane.
I think it would be fair to say that while it may be 10% of her home's value. It's 42,000. Samaritan's purse is amazing going house-to-house cleaning the mud cleaning the yards. I will forever donate to them. You guys are will forever be blessed for all you do . Congratulations on the new channel . Looking forward.
Thank you for sharing your experiences in the aftermath of the storm. Your videos and perspectives have been respectful and enlightening to the human side of the damage and recovery. I understand why Bri wants to step away and spend more time loving on and teaching your children, but we all hope she pops in and says hi once in a while. I'm looking forward to watching the new channel and seeing how Art weaves the stories and theme of home into videos. The loss of home, sense of place, and familiar landscapes must be weighing heavy on the hearts of so many in your community. The loss of connections to people and places so loved will be grieved for generations.
Nurses are a special kind of people! They multitask and do several jobs and projects at the same time, always putting others' needs before their own! I hope that nurse Elisabeth, who has helped so many, gets all the help she needs to rebuild her life! And I hope nurse Arthur take care, and heal and mend his infection. Never ever feel guilty for being human and needing to rest and heal out an infection! As Brianna says, you can help others from home. You are doing it right now, you are helping nurse Elisabeth, you are helping those who want to volunteer and those who need the help of volunteers with your information. Thank you for all you do for others, and for your willingness to help and support! ❤❤❤
I so appreciate that you want to pour yourself more into your family, home, and marriage. Many young women do not even know what that means; however, they can learn what that entails, how it is fleshed out, and why it matters for time and eternity.
Please take care if yourself..I am so worried about Auther..Don't want him to have a me tal break down..And it is ok to cry..I cried several times just listening to y'all..God bless y'all..
Bri From Scratch served a purpose while Bri needed it. Bri, you did a beautiful job! Thank you. I’m happy to hear you are both ready to move on to A Place Called Home. I love you both.
Thank you for all that you have done for your community. And I am glad that you had minimal impact in the scope of everything that has transpired, glad to hear that your relationship is progressing and healing. I will keep looking for the new channel.
Ty Bri & Art💖 for trying to help Elizabeth. I am a midwife myself. I have been watching your channel since before the twins. Oh, my heart broke for you then.💔 I am reaching out to share the GFM link, in my midwifery communities. I hope it helps. 🙏🏽 It is SO kind of you to give back to her, in this much needed way.💖 Blessing for you & yours. Relieved to hear you are all alive & coping. Stay safe, Jan in NM. 😇
So many people need help. I live in New Zealand. We understand that being in flooding and being in the country. No power. But know God has us all in the world. Justin was hit hard. Thank you for checking on the family. Things are a mess. 😢😢😢IT seems like the government is not doing much. It's neighbors helping one another as it was for us. We have many earthquakes and floods. Praying 🙏 for you all. XOXO 🙌 😘 🤗
Thank you so much for keeping us updated. Bri I have so enjoyed working through this very tough process called life with you and have laughed and cried with you more times than I can say. I always hoped that things would work out the way you wanted with your family and it looks like things are heading that way. Art I have always adored you and marveled at all the things you can do around the homestead, all your tips if caught out in the wilderness, and your love for your family. I will follow this channel no matter what it is called as long as it continues to let me peek into and thereby share in the life of a wonderful, caring, and loving family. Thank you again for allowing me to be a part of that family.
Thanks for the info! It’s so great that you are able to give back to Elizabeth when she gave to you. I like the new name of the channel, but am sad to see Bri step back from making content, for my sake. For your sake, I’m happy for you to order your family in a way that makes the home work better. So, are you also announcing that you two are officially back together?
Not going anywhere. You, the both of you have taught me so much and connected to a place I never thought I could or would understand. I'm from the Northwest and I never even knew we were just alike. So Art and Bri, Bri From Scratch all makes sense to be A Place Called Home. I'm so glad you are all doing well. I hope that Art doesn't have any long term physical affects tho I suspect you both and your family and all of the people from the South East are going to be feeling this for a very long time. ❤
Thank you for reaching out. There is so much conflicting information and rumors going around. Sadly, some who need help the most are afraid to accept it. Please be safe and thank you for sharing info on your friends. 🤗
Thank you for the update. PLEASE take care of yourselves. I know you know how important that is, and I understand the guilt, but I'll just add my caring voice to the crowd. ❤
God's many blessings to all always! I love the new name for your channel! I started watching you guys just before the twins were born. Wasn't able to comment until just recently.
Our area experienced flooding in 2006 and 2011...we are still dealing with flood related issues. We are to comfort others as we have been comforted. We all have something we can do to ease the burden...the first thing is pray for encouragement and hope for those who are overwhelmed. I love hearing how people are looking outside of the box to meet needs such as family sponsorship.
Thanks for doing this video it's been informative. Praying to see what The Lord wants of me in this hour. I am delighted to hear you are returning to the full care of your family. The Lord provided what you needed when you needed it now its time for Restoring. Many blessings and I pray The Lord Blesses your giving out of His Heart❤🙏💖
Choosing the right path for you and the family is always best. I just love your videos and enjoy all of the content you put out. It is a lot of work. I'll be praying that God continues to use each of your lives as you raise up your children to follow Jesus. God's continued faithful blessings to you! I'm rooting for you as always!
I just found your channel today. You touched my heart. Thank you so much for sharing. You both inspire me to do my best to live up to the example you are demonstrating.
Thank you so much for this helpful update and as a newcomer, I learned things about you both and what you have been through previous to the storm, during and after...A Place Called Home, that title really speaks to me as that is where my heart is and I hear Bri's heart and very much understand. God Bless - and God Strength moving foreward. Blessings from Canada's west coast.
This advice and these ideas are exactly what Ive been praying for God to help me get this information. We are in Texas but have a love and connection to the Black Mountain/Montreat area. Will be emailing yall for some additional direction. Weve donated to SP and hoping we can come up to volunteer in a bit.
I'd enjoy an episode or more of the transition, because it was such an honor to be with you both through this season. I was enjoying and praying for you all when I started watching during your home rental time. I won't forget the wondering about you all, and my imagination had to be taken captive, by faith. Then the super surprise from Bri, that you were still out there all alive, Bri shared the heartbreaking news and continued to be truthful and honor you Art! Learning Art's journey too has been very interesting and overcoming. I'd like to hear that you two think you'll be together forever again, but that may be too private or not time. While Art takes the lead of the channel, I want to go on record saying, if you have an anniversary party, or renewal party, I'd like to see it on video or live streamed 😉. I'll be following the newly named channel too. Very Sincerely, Laural
I think there has to be some investigation in congress, into the insurance companies. Insurance for floods needs to be available at a realistic and affordable price anywhere in the country because these, unexpected tragedies need to be prepared for. Thank God for all you communities who come together.
Be kind and helpful Love and kindness is free. GOD knows and it will never, be in vain. It means more than you will ever know! #Unite NC Strong and all of our neighbors. USA...let's go!
Thank you Thank you to connect us with this amazing human. I will share as well. Her being a single mom and a midwife to be brings tears to my eyes. If anything else is needed please let us know. I will also use the Amazon shopping list. Please also help us help those who are helping others. They need payment to support their families too
I did the Amazon gift wishlist. I hope that all this people in WNC continue to get the help they need. It would be helpful if all the WNC you tubers could continue to put out updates in the coming months. Media is not helprul. All the info I get comes from You tube. God Bless all of you.
We have had family in disaster related areas and have found that texting out of the region is the best and most assured way to communicate. We used to have key people in different portions of the US who acted as intermediaries for communication AND information. It seems as if information about what is actually going on in the disaster area is actually better and more accurate on stations which are not local.
Living in that area she really should have had food insurance, I am surprised that she could get a mortgage without having flood insurance. She is lucky that she will be able to move into her parent's basement apartment. I have donated what I can and will continue to send positive thoughts and prayers to all of those that have had their lives uprooted by this hurricane!!!
I can imagine that you are revisiting your prepps; even people thousands of miles away are reviewing thier prepps. But I encourage you to put that garden to the yield test for yourselves but also to feed others.

I give to them monthly because of how great they are
Fema doesn't do what Samaritans purse can. They are NOT a boots on the ground rescue. They provide cash and sign people up for grants and loans to rebuild where possible.

I was here for Art and Bri, Bri From Scratch and hoping for great success for A Place Called Home. I have prayed so much for your family and seeing the prayers of mine and many others being answered is really encouraging to me. ❤
Same here! So glad to see healing in this family❤

Yes! Same here!❤
Prayers answered, that Bri from Scratch can become a part along the Way of your now Reintegrated Journey. Great to see you both able to give assistance, as a united team, a healing balm in itself to all of the family. Love and Blessings. 💜💙💚💫
"Bri from Scratch" served its purpose. Looking forward to the new channel 🤗

As they have stated here and on various channels that the needs that change daily will be there for weeks, months and possibly years 😢
Thank you, Art & Bri for getting that message out 💗
Looking forward to the vids from "A Place Called Home". Just throw us a home cooking video once in a while Bri. :) They make me happy. Love to all of you, for who you are and for what you do.
I am so impressed with your kindness and humility. ❤what an awesome community you live in! ❤
I’m proud of we Americans. We step up. We help one another.

Honestly so proud that you guys are working it out and doing so much good for the community and your family sending you much love and prayers😊

Thank you so much for sharing how to help in person and with supplies
Thank you for all that you do to help and to let us know what is needed and how we can help.
Wonderful and compassionate video
I started following at the beginning of Bri from scratch with that really hard car video. I'm so thankful God blessed you with such a redemptive story and that He continues to. ❤️💕 Have had you on my heart from that moment and am so happy you are now getting to step back and focus more on your family and all the amazing things you do ❤️
Btw, the way you spoke and honored in that video exemplified the woman I want to be. Even when I didn't have time to watch a video - would often play yours in the background and like it just to help your algorithm. Believe there are many who support you and your family and are so happy for the work God's done for you ❤️❤️
This is also the first video I watched of theirs! I’ve prayed for them in my prayers many times! ❤
Thank you for sharing help for the community 🙏🙏🙏👍👍💪💪
I love both of you and your family so much. I will follow you wherever you go. Thank you for sharing the difficult story about your community. It reminds me to pray. God bless everyone❤
Happy for your name change. It is a sign of moving forward.❤
Been with you guys since you were expecting your second son. Watching them all grow and mature makes me feel like part of the family. I'm not going anywhere no matter how many times you change the name. I do like the new one though. God bless 🙏 you all during this tumultuous time.
I love the name. Brings tears to my eyes
I love it Bri and Art and getting a new name ❤😊 A Place Called Home ❤😊home is where the ❤ is
I didn't drop off. I thank you for sharing your heart..Bri do what you need to do for your family. None of us can do it all. I love the new name of the channel. See you next time.

I’m glad someone finally said it!
First, Bri has expressed a need to not have the pressure of filming and supporting the family on her plate for a time.
Second, there ate many of us who love both Art and Bri. I hope that it will end up being a good blend of them both as time goes on.
@@RusticReel I like them together as a pair. I hope that things go well in the future for them.
@@Jane5720I agree but Bri seems annoyed.. I hope she can find some peace and is grateful for everything has and doesn’t have
@@savebees she does here, but perhaps she’s overwhelmed by everything going on
Art and Bri, I am so sorry that your area has been stricken so hard by Hurricane Helene. I know that we had an event in 1982, where we had 13" of rain within a couple of hours. I had to drive by and pick up my husband at the cabinet shop where he worked. He wasn't quite ready to leave because they were putting a number of wooden (cherry, oak, etc.) custom-built pantries, vanities, and custom-built kitchen cabinets up on concrete blocks to try to keep them out of the water which was flooding into the building. The electricity went out and we were wading water. A sudden rise in the water levels of the parking lot, and only by the brave guys who worked with my husband, who had a very large four-wheel drive pickup truck and towed my car sort of up a hill out of the flood waters which would have ruined the car. We waded water 3.5 feet deep to get out of the shop. One subdivision was flooded that day, and just after a couple of days, another torrential storm a few days later, ruining the repairs that had already been initiated. So I have a little (very little) idea of what you are going through. I am so thankful that your area is pulling together to get through the horrible storm. I wish all of you the very best. It's very irritating to me that FEMA has failed the people of North Carolina.
P. S. Our prayers for you and your family, and for all of those in North Carolina who were severely impacted by Hurricane Helene. May God bless you and yours always and keep you safe.
It’s such a bad time for such a disaster to happen too. We usually help (even though are low income) but can’t financially contribute anymore. Our landlord is selling is finding a rental home with 7 kids is impossible, home prices unaffordable. Now, we are low income but I know people making 6 figures and even they are complaining about the tough economy.
I love everything y’all are doing. Y’all are letting us know what is going on and how we can really help. Praying for y’all and everyone affected by the hurricane.
I think it would be fair to say that while it may be 10% of her home's value. It's 42,000. Samaritan's purse is amazing going house-to-house cleaning the mud cleaning the yards. I will forever donate to them. You guys are will forever be blessed for all you do . Congratulations on the new channel . Looking forward.
Thank you for helping the community from the hurricane God bless you and your family.❤
Thank you for sharing all of this with us.
Thanks for the personal/general update on the recovery. Love you guys! Your channel''s evolving, but that's what living things do.
Thank you for sharing your experiences in the aftermath of the storm. Your videos and perspectives have been respectful and enlightening to the human side of the damage and recovery. I understand why Bri wants to step away and spend more time loving on and teaching your children, but we all hope she pops in and says hi once in a while. I'm looking forward to watching the new channel and seeing how Art weaves the stories and theme of home into videos. The loss of home, sense of place, and familiar landscapes must be weighing heavy on the hearts of so many in your community. The loss of connections to people and places so loved will be grieved for generations.
Always love watching your channel, through it all.
It is encouraging to hear words of hope!
Nurses are a special kind of people!
They multitask and do several jobs and projects at the same time, always putting others' needs before their own!
I hope that nurse Elisabeth, who has helped so many, gets all the help she needs to rebuild her life!
And I hope nurse Arthur take care, and heal and mend his infection.
Never ever feel guilty for being human and needing to rest and heal out an infection!
As Brianna says, you can help others from home. You are doing it right now, you are helping nurse Elisabeth, you are helping those who want to volunteer and those who need the help of volunteers with your information.
Thank you for all you do for others, and for your willingness to help and support! ❤❤❤
Thank you for the update and best wishes for your channel changes. Change is hard, and it can show growth/progress.
I so appreciate that you want to pour yourself more into your family, home, and marriage. Many young women do not even know what that means; however, they can learn what that entails, how it is fleshed out, and why it matters for time and eternity.
Thank you for all you are doing , have done and helping connect us not in these area to people in need.
We need all of the TH-cam channels to show us what’s going on. You’re the only ones we trust.
Please take care if yourself..I am so worried about Auther..Don't want him to have a me tal break down..And it is ok to cry..I cried several times just listening to y'all..God bless y'all..
Here to the end…love you guys❤❤❤
It’s great to see you together!
I'm so excited to see what the future brings for your family! Hope we can still see you on occasion, Bri!
Bri From Scratch served a purpose while Bri needed it. Bri, you did a beautiful job! Thank you. I’m happy to hear you are both ready to move on to A Place Called Home. I love you both.
Thank you for sharing your update. The two of you are truly a blessing to your community.
Letting people know they are not alone, is so important.❤❤❤
Thank you for all that you have done for your community. And I am glad that you had minimal impact in the scope of everything that has transpired, glad to hear that your relationship is progressing and healing. I will keep looking for the new channel.
Ty Bri & Art💖 for trying to help Elizabeth.
I am a midwife myself.
I have been watching your channel since before the twins. Oh, my heart broke for you then.💔
I am reaching out to share the GFM link, in my midwifery communities.
I hope it helps. 🙏🏽
It is SO kind of you to give back to her, in this much needed way.💖
Blessing for you & yours. Relieved to hear you are all alive & coping.
Stay safe, Jan in NM. 😇
So many people need help. I live in New Zealand. We understand that being in flooding and being in the country. No power. But know God has us all in the world. Justin was hit hard. Thank you for checking on the family. Things are a mess. 😢😢😢IT seems like the government is not doing much. It's neighbors helping one another as it was for us.
We have many earthquakes and floods.
Praying 🙏 for you all. XOXO 🙌 😘 🤗
Thank you so much for keeping us updated. Bri I have so enjoyed working through this very tough process called life with you and have laughed and cried with you more times than I can say. I always hoped that things would work out the way you wanted with your family and it looks like things are heading that way. Art I have always adored you and marveled at all the things you can do around the homestead, all your tips if caught out in the wilderness, and your love for your family. I will follow this channel no matter what it is called as long as it continues to let me peek into and thereby share in the life of a wonderful, caring, and loving family. Thank you again for allowing me to be a part of that family.
Thanks for the update. Take care and God bless.
Art and Bri, Bri from Scratch to A Place Called Home, I’m here to stay, much love dear family.
You guys are such a blessing. Arthur seems very strong and in a good head space. I like the new channel name. God bless your family.
Thanks for the info! It’s so great that you are able to give back to Elizabeth when she gave to you.
I like the new name of the channel, but am sad to see Bri step back from making content, for my sake. For your sake, I’m happy for you to order your family in a way that makes the home work better. So, are you also announcing that you two are officially back together?
I wondered that too, afraid to ask.
Not going anywhere. You, the both of you have taught me so much and connected to a place I never thought I could or would understand. I'm from the Northwest and I never even knew we were just alike. So Art and Bri, Bri From Scratch all makes sense to be A Place Called Home. I'm so glad you are all doing well. I hope that Art doesn't have any long term physical affects tho I suspect you both and your family and all of the people from the South East are going to be feeling this for a very long time. ❤
Time to pour into your family! I’m glad you are listening to that nudging. You both have been through so much. God bless!
Thank you for reaching out. There is so much conflicting information and rumors going around. Sadly, some who need help the most are afraid to accept it. Please be safe and thank you for sharing info on your friends. 🤗
I am sorry I don’t have the funds to donate. My heart goes out to Liz and Natalie. ❤
I would love to see so much funding come in that she can pay her mortgage off and rebuild
with ZERO debt.
And away from a river!
God Bless you and your family for you caring and giving to God's ear from your mouth! AMEN❤
Thank you for the update. PLEASE take care of yourselves. I know you know how important that is, and I understand the guilt, but I'll just add my caring voice to the crowd. ❤
God's many blessings to all always! I love the new name for your channel! I started watching you guys just before the twins were born. Wasn't able to comment until just recently.
Thats a beautiful name for the channel. I'm looking forward to seeing your future videos. ❤
Our area experienced flooding in 2006 and 2011...we are still dealing with flood related issues. We are to comfort others as we have been comforted. We all have something we can do to ease the burden...the first thing is pray for encouragement and hope for those who are overwhelmed.
I love hearing how people are looking outside of the box to meet needs such as family sponsorship.
Thanks for doing this video it's been informative. Praying to see what The Lord wants of me in this hour. I am delighted to hear you are returning to the full care of your family. The Lord provided what you needed when you needed it now its time for Restoring. Many blessings and I pray The Lord Blesses your giving out of His Heart❤🙏💖
Choosing the right path for you and the family is always best. I just love your videos and enjoy all of the content you put out. It is a lot of work. I'll be praying that God continues to use each of your lives as you raise up your children to follow Jesus. God's continued faithful blessings to you! I'm rooting for you as always!
Hey Art and Bri, I'm so pleased to see that you are all doing well and able to help others ❤!
JO JO IN VT 💞🍁
❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you both for what you're doing, and for following your hearts. Love the new name.
I just found your channel today. You touched my heart. Thank you so much for sharing. You both inspire me to do my best to live up to the example you are demonstrating.
Thank you so much for this helpful update and as a newcomer, I learned things about you both and what you have been through previous to the storm, during and after...A Place Called Home, that title really speaks to me as that is where my heart is and I hear Bri's heart and very much understand. God Bless - and God Strength moving foreward. Blessings from Canada's west coast.
Thank you for some concrete ways we can help.
It’s so much easier to listen to this at two times speed highly recommend it
This advice and these ideas are exactly what Ive been praying for God to help me get this information. We are in Texas but have a love and connection to the Black Mountain/Montreat area. Will be emailing yall for some additional direction. Weve donated to SP and hoping we can come up to volunteer in a bit.
I'd enjoy an episode or more of the transition, because it was such an honor to be with you both through this season.
I was enjoying and praying for you all when I started watching during your home rental time. I won't forget the wondering about you all, and my imagination had to be taken captive, by faith. Then the super surprise from Bri, that you were still out there all alive, Bri shared the heartbreaking news and continued to be truthful and honor you Art! Learning Art's journey too has been very interesting and overcoming.
I'd like to hear that you two think you'll be together forever again, but that may be too private or not time.
While Art takes the lead of the channel, I want to go on record saying, if you have an anniversary party, or renewal party, I'd like to see it on video or live streamed 😉. I'll be following the newly named channel too.
Very Sincerely, Laural
I think there has to be some investigation in congress, into the insurance companies. Insurance for floods needs to be available at a realistic and affordable price anywhere in the country because these, unexpected tragedies need to be prepared for. Thank God for all you communities who come together.
Be kind and helpful
Love and kindness is free.
GOD knows and it will never, be in vain.
It means more than you will ever know!
#Unite NC Strong and all of our neighbors.
USA...let's go!
Thank you Thank you to connect us with this amazing human. I will share as well. Her being a single mom and a midwife to be brings tears to my eyes. If anything else is needed please let us know. I will also use the Amazon shopping list. Please also help us help those who are helping others. They need payment to support their families too
I did the Amazon gift wishlist. I hope that all this people in WNC continue to get the help they need. It would be helpful if all the WNC you tubers could continue to put out updates in the coming months. Media is not helprul. All the info I get comes from You tube. God Bless all of you.
God bless you and your family 🌄
A place called home
Y’all are just unbelievable at this point.
We have had family in disaster related areas and have found that texting out of the region is the best and most assured way to communicate. We used to have key people in different portions of the US who acted as intermediaries for communication AND information. It seems as if information about what is actually going on in the disaster area is actually better and more accurate on stations which are not local.
Living in that area she really should have had food insurance, I am surprised that she could get a mortgage without having flood insurance. She is lucky that she will be able to move into her parent's basement apartment. I have donated what I can and will continue to send positive thoughts and prayers to all of those that have had their lives uprooted by this hurricane!!!
You are ignorant of local conditions.
Thank you
prayers
❤
I can imagine that you are revisiting your prepps; even people thousands of miles away are reviewing thier prepps. But I encourage you to put that garden to the yield test for yourselves but also to feed others.
*é o furacão Helen's fez um estrago tremendo depois veio o furacão Milton mas Deus tem abençoado a todos vocês 🙏🏻👏🏻*
*THANK YOU VERY MUCH CARPE DIEM GOD BLESS YOU ALL GOOD AFTERNOON 🇧🇷🇺🇸🙏🏻*
