Thank you for all of the care you put into this video. I am Don’s neighbor and we are so grateful to God for saving him. There is still a long way forward for Don and the rest of our community, but we are doing it together. I’m happy to report that we got some good news earlier this week about plans for rebuilding Don a house!
I'm grateful God saved you so that you can tell your story. So many people still over 3 months have gone by since Helene, and they refuse to believe how terrible things still are. If not for neighbor helping neighbor, good hearted people and Christian organizations continuing to help I'm not sure how some that survived are still living. The freezing cold has been the worst I can remember, some people are living in tents and without the necessities to survive. As you stated all the "hazardous materials" that were spilled into the raging waters are now making people extremely sick. I'm terribly sorry about your son as a nurse what is happening with Fentanyl and other drugs breaks my heart each time I hear of another case. God bless you and hold tight to your faith He strengthens us in times like this for a reason. You are a miracle to be here today to tell your story praise God.!
Bless his heart. Your East Tennessee family is here for you. Please reach out if anyone has needs. I'm in Kingsport and run supplies and donations all up east tn and wnc. So much love for everyone rn. ❤️🙏🏼
I'm glad Don is here to tell his story. I've been following channels that help supply hurricane relief camps in TN and Western NC, I hope Don can find one and they can help with survival supplies, and offer help with recovery. It's still a dire situation in the mountains and people living in tents and campers.
Awesome retelling of the horrors of Helene and this precious man's testimony. Still praying for all the survivors. Thank you for continuing to get the word out. We can not let these people - our people - my people - be forgotten. Keep telling their stories Jeremy....so many more to be shared....great video!
Great video and story of survival. I live a little higher off the river and was unaware of how bad it was until the following day when we tried to leave south central and found we were locked in as all the bridges were washed away. He is right about how the community stuck together and took care of one another. They did, long before the government even bothered to acknowledge the flood.
It is a miracle Sir! Thank Jesus Christ! God bless you and the wonder people who helped you. Prayers that the first man made it through. Sending love, hugs and prayers for you and your dog.
Still praying 🙏 for you all! Thank God he had his hand on you Don! He didn't let go! I hope your dog is doing good also! And I pray the man who tried to help you first survived!
I hadn't planned on tears when I watched this video. Amazing story and I will be praying for Donald. I will be praying for some Marines to show up to lend him a hand. Ya Gotta Love Our Marines. Donald is loved.
@@jeremygouge No need to apologize. I have cried many, many times for these folks. I give when I can. I love Marines and Donalds' story and the fact he and his dog are still alive is powerful. God saved them.
Yes there’s quite a few churches / organizations. Do you need some resources? I’m trying to update people on current resources on my channel @UpdatesfromAppalachia
God Bless you ❤️ a true miracle🙏🏻 I pray out that you get the relief from President Trump, and he sees that the most rural areas are devastated. I pray every day for all of you may the light shine on you🙏🏻🇺🇸❤️
