I wish I could do more to help. After black mold poisoning in Virginia, I lost everything, including my health. I was forced to leave everything behind and faced homelessness, leading to some truly difficult situations and unhealthy environments. It took two long years to finally secure my own apartment. Even now, I’m still hurting - dealing with sickness, disability, financial hardship, and mostly confined to bed and couch. If I were in your position, I wouldn't return to a home with mold. You might lose some belongings, but preserving your health is far more important than risking illness from black mold.
You can’t watch videos like this and not cry, not just because of their devastated lives, but because of the togetherness! Everyone helping everyone without a thought. 🙌🏻🎯❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Jordan, you have covered this better than any of the so called professionals. Great Job!!! Although things are difficult, it so refreshing that we are getting actual honest news. So proud of you. I think we've found our new news man!
What you guys and Megan and her family showed us is what American really is and can be. How encouraging especially right now. Thank you for being the people you are.
What a heartwarming view of the Helene destruction and the amazing humans who banded together to help each other among the chaos. So many videos, but THIS one > PRIMO! Sharing.
This is one of the best updates I’ve seen so far. Thank you for keeping it real. These people have lost so much but they are gaining the things that last a lifetime.
I also LOVE the fact that you guys went on the ground and found 3 groups that need this money and we are able to donate directly to them. Knowing that this will make a real difference. When you donate to large aid organizations up to 30% or more of your donation goes to administrative costs. This goes directly to those who really are making a difference in the community with no waste. KUDOS!
That’s by far the best coverage of Helene that I have seen from anywhere. You did a great job with this episode and found some awesome people to show you around and explain the situation. Thanks

Thank you so very much for this video. It is so wonderful to see how Americans have come to help North Carolina. It was marvelous how the devastated locals helped each other; then outsiders came to help. This is so overwhelming. I’m a retired American in Bolivia. I have nothing, I rent an apartment for $100 a month. But I have personally observed how earthquakes destroyed an entire town in Peru. Yes, water was sent in afterwards, but still the entire destroyed town had to rebuild everything all on their own. It is so heartwarming to see Americans helping Americans. It will take a long time.
I'm sorry that you had to experience the earthquake in Peru. Experiencing a natural disaster is traumatizing and like you said, it's overwhelming. I can't imagine having to rebuild an entire city, especially wo help. I live in Florida and my neighborhood flooded a lot during Helene. I got lucky during Milton but I was very worried before it happened that I wouldn't be ok because I live exactly where Milton went. Last night I went to a restaurant for takeout for the first time since both hurricanes and it was a really big deal to do something so "normal". I believe that everyone around here has PTSD and it wouldn't surprise me if your city and you also have PTSD. Hope that makes sense. Cheers to you from the US. :)
Greetings from Germany. Thank you Project Atticus for lending your prestige to these people in need and highlighting , through your story telling, the amazing spirt of America. Can they rebuild? Yes they can!
I’ve lived in East Tennessee as an avid outdoorsman my entire adult life so, the Southern Appalachia region, along with its people, are monumentally important to me and my family! And thus to Desiree & Jordan I say THANK YOU! Thank you for using your exceptional filmmaking and storytelling skills to broadcast the continuing needs of this area, and to showcase what the best of humanity along with loving thy neighbor truly looks like! You guys are the Best! Love ya…mean it!!! 🫶🏼
I was waiting for you to get to us here in North Carolina. It's still awful for some of my friends. Thank you for doing us justice! Swannoa is just gone
Nice overview of something that has been overlooked. I enjoyed what the fellow from Ground Zero Grace said," Beautiful things don't come out of beautiful things...". His view on hardship, loss, and disaster being the seeds of beautiful things really seems true. Thank you.
Jordan and Desiree, thank you for bringing us this news. Because of it, we donated to the charity and both go fund me links. Let's hope those affected by this incredibly destructive storm can resume their normal lives as soon as possible.
Team, even compared to the wonderful locations you have traveled, this is the most beautiful video you have ever produced by highlighting the human spirit.
When you stopped sailing, I wondered if I could hang with your channel. I’m a sailor and that’s what interested me in your story, your pacific seacraft, and your family. But this episode is by far my very favorite Atticus episode of all time. Thank you for bringing the story to us in such a succinct, professional way, and letting us know where and how we can help. I lived in NC for many years and the Smoky Mountains are near and dear to me. My heart breaks for those people, but their story of resilience resonates as well. I’m going to go donate right now and I will mention you in my donation. Thank you.
My 90 year old father was so moved that he donated $50 to Megan's Farm Recovery. He says he's praying for the entire families recovery and sends his love and prayers to all. His name is James Hewlett from Georgia. 🙏❤️
Beautiful episode Jordan & family! As a North Carolinian myself, I thank you for shining a light on this area, it's devastation & showing that you can't keep this great NC area & it's ppl down. Your effort, through your video, will be a blessing. North Carolina ppl are some of the most resilient, loving, friendly, & hard working ppl in this country. Maybe you should consider NC as a future home 😊. Ya'll would be a great addition to our great state.
Thank you for highlighting the cooperation, gumption and can-do spirit that flows in the wake of the storm. I live in Asheville and your video is spot on in highlighting the needs and the incredible amount of cooperation and rebuilding that is happening all around the region.
Jordan - you are such talented story teller! How interesting that you guys decided to sell the boat, moved back to land and now doing this - such meaningful work. Isabella and her siblings will be so proud of her parents when they are looking back at this! And Desiree - pregnant and all... you are amazing!!
Thank you for bringing us this story. Im in Sarasota and people here had a lot of damage. But nothing like what NC has endured. Very heartwarming to see people helping each other.
I love that people were able to get down to the area with water and supplies and manpower... Thanking God for his mercy and for touching people to help financially
Great story telling J&D. I’m acting on the links to help support the community. I knew you were close to ground zero during the storm, being one hour away from the center of devastation was like dodging a bullet. Continued best wishes to you all.
Jordan, what a fantastic segment! Better than any national news media coverage. What to me stands out is the positive attitude that Megan and the people there have, and it’s not about what the government is not doing, its about the community. Kudos to you for sharing their story!
Absolutely EXCELLENT episode! I literally just sat down with a cup of coffee and said to my husband. I wish the news would give us up dates on what is going on now in NC. Then I click on TH-cam and there was your video! Excellent information the whole video and the woman that sharing the most was amazing telling the story. You guys have to do some follow up videos as time goes on. Thank you so much for sharing. You should be very proud of this one. I’m sharing this one with everyone.
Insurance companies are denying claims left and right in the mountains because they didn't have the right type of insurance for this once in a millennium event. Many have lost everything and will get absolutely zero financial help. Donations of funds directly to those families is the absolute best thing you can do. Thank you from WNC.
I saw a huge contingent from your state doing search and rescue and passed their convoy a few weeks ago looking like they were finally getting to go home. So many states have sent aid it’s been overwhelmingly positive given how polarized the country has become. Thank you from WNC.
Thanks for sharing. The community coming together to help one another out was inspiring. We saw the same thing in Lahaina after the fires. I made a donation.
Your channel was getting lost but now I think you have found your way again. Spend the winter in Ashville because the media has forgotten it. You have a voice and you have lots of mechanical and construction skills to contribute and your channel is your job. Great work on this. Now we want to watch you again Paul
Amazing reporting. Thank you for sharing this with us. What an eye opener! So awesome to see people come together to support and help each other so unselfishly.
Hey Raft Guide Lady.... getting a bunch of high schoolers together and successfully navigate the wilderness without losing anyone is definitely a skill! You all rock! Much love and well wishes from the West Coast.
This is the most vivid and comprehensive account of Helene's devastation that I have seen. I've always appreciated your ability to craft a compelling narrative and vivid visual content. And here you have put your skills to such excellent use. I had been wondering how you were affected by Helene since we knew you had been exploring northern Georgia, not so far away. Happy to hear that you came through unscathed and most appreciative of your efforts to get the word out. Thank you!
Jordan my wife and I have been following you for years. This week's video was my favorite of all time. It was better than anything I have seen on national media. Thanks. I will be donating to one of these organizations. Love you and your family!
I’m your neighbor in Hendo. I’m going to be crocheting hats and scarves for the needy to bring some warmth and comfort. Cold weather is coming. If anyone knits or crochets, that would help someone. We just got our main road passable.
Living through the destruction of Harvey I can relate to the devastation, my heart goes out to those who were affected, praying for the domestic and wild animals too.
Thank you for making this video. This is my home area. When I first started watching You two and a small tiny boat, I never in 1 million years. Thought you would be right here in my back door helping my neighbors y’all are just too cool and thank you. !
What a revelation, wonderful people, sharing the real story. Huge admiration to Megan for describing. I'm in awe at those who have travelled from near and far, have organised materials and skills. Particularly impressive is the company who brought their resources in to reconstruct the road. This is the resilience, the responsibility which is vital. Government, state, insurance are in it for different reasons. Who delivers when it matters? Thanks Jordan and Desiree for bringing this to your channel. Things are tricky for me but have contributed a little to each.
Thank you for getting ahead of yourselves and going to Ashville to do this episode. It's nice to see that everyone banded together and are just taking care of it, and accepting the help being given, and just tearing into the work. I've seen several other interviews and places of operation that just jumped in and took on the responsibility of helping the communities, and they aren't from anywhere around. From disaster relief organizations to Green Berets, and seal teams that have set up air drop areas for relief aid, even after being told by Gov reps not to. Gov needs to remember that they work for us, we direct them, and thank you for your support but we live here and know what's needed now. Glad you did this.
Amazing video Jordan! We’re up in Nova Scotia and have had more than our share of hurricanes. The destruction caused by these storms is heart breaking but the relief effort really restores your faith in humanity. Thanks for putting the focus on what’s truly important. Terrific video!
We started watching you because of your sailing....and we will miss that part. But we are so looking forward to what your future holds. This episode is truly one of your best. We all need to take a moment....to realize how blessed we are.
We had some damage here in Tennessee also, but nothing like theses people have had. They were at ground zero! You did good with this video, good job! yall be safe.
Your story telling ability during your travels served you well in relating to the flood and hardship that these folks have experienced. I knew your film school background would someday prove invaluable! I’m sure the Asheville news media will be contacting you for your journalistic skills!
Jordan and Desiree, I have been so worried about where ya’ll were when the storm hit because your last video, you were in that area and I didn’t know time wise when the video was made! I live in the Upstate of SC and we got hit (loss of trees, power and internet) but nothing like the area of NC that you visited. Thank you for using your incredible video skills to make this important video. So cool that ya’ll went to help and met so many people. Even living as close as I do, I was not aware of what was going on there. Thank you for your channel and for filming your amazing life - selfishly hoping you stay somewhere in the Southeast ❤️
Thank you for actually talking about this. I have been so weirded out by all of the sailing channels and other TH-cam channels I watch because they have not mentioned what happened in North Carolina once. It just shows how real you two are.
why would a sailing channel mention NC Hurricane Helene when they have nothing to do with it! So you are implying that people in other Sailing You Tube channels are not real? Project Atticus just so happened to be in the area. Do you actually think a sailing channel currently outside the USA would stop what they are doing to report on this, fly to NC and make a video? While devastating, people do have various priorities such as getting their yacht off a reef, which could be equally devastating, and they were focused on their yacht (HOME) not a hurricane on the other side of the planet. And yes the video was well done, and I follow various sailing channels
Great job on telling their story! It's important that people do not forget the victims of hurricane Helena now that it has been over a month since the storm has passed. I'm going to donate to all three charities today as well as sharing the video on my Facebook page. God bless you!
These stories remind me of why i feel in love with the south. Fl born, NJ until 15. North GA and North Carolina hold my heart and the best memories. Prayers for all and I know that the spirit of the south will prevail.
Beautiful kind people. Know that whatever life throws at you, there are people out there willing to help. There is no you & I, there is only us. Crisis brings up together, but we are always stronger together.💪. Stay safe out there everyone & help people in need, be it a natural disaster, or personal tragedy ~ kindness goes a long way in this world of ours. ❤
Jorden thank you for sharing this episode. I live in Central NC and although I was not personally impacted by the storm that area of my state will be decades recovering. Places that I have visited out there are gone. Praying that the Mountain state of mind will sustain them, and the support will continue to help them rebuild.
Texas here. I'm a retired old lady living in Houston, TX, and I've been obsessed with watching all the devastating videos coming out of NC. My heart aches for the people who lost loved ones or everything they owned. I've been wanting to donate some money but was waiting to find the right organization. I will be donating to Hurricane Helene WNC today. Thank you so much for this video and for putting the word out.
Great video. To see such community, support, love and hope in the middle of a heartbreaking disaster is uplifting. Thank you for telling their stories and letting us know how to best help them.
Jordan, I think you just answered the age old question: "Why do bad things happen to good people?" It's only through hardship that we are capable of finding our best selves. The Big Guy was way ahead of us on that one.
I just have to say GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU! I live an hour from Asheville. We got the flash flooding, some property damage and a few tree damage. Power outages for some for days' but NOTHING!! what you guys have experienced! My heart and soul go out to ALL of you!!!❤
As tragic as these two storms were, it's really brought the best of humanity out. I live in the Tampa Bay area, and I've met neighbors that I'd never met before, all going door to door around the neighborhood asking people if they needed any help. I truly believe we've made God and Jesus so proud in the way we've responded to these trying times. God bless to all that've been so affected by these storms and to all that've been there for so many to help. The response and actions of so many can be such role models to the people of the world, this is what humanity can be, if we all come together and work for each other instead of against one another. 🙏✝
I am so thankful to see what love looks like in living color. Oneness and unity is powerful when people come together and dig deep into the essence of their soul. Awe is so Beautiful!
You know guys, we were so sad when he heard about your decision to sell Atticus, but I really believe you have found a blessed calling with the work you are doing after the tragedy of Helena in Asheville. It’s amazing to see and cannot wait for your next episode. Love and blessings to all 😊
I live about two hours away from this devastation in NC and I’m familiar with community. I might sound antigovernment,but friends , neighbors, and family will help you in your time of need than government. Yes I believe good human nature came out of this disaster but it was there implanted all along with these type of people.. mountain country people are a different type of breed. Great video bringing out awareness and needs of this area , hope and pray they can get situated before winter. Jordan and Desire y’all have a big heart and thank you for sharing on your platform the needs of this community.. God Bless you!!
I agree that in these situations, everyone should pitch in and help that are able to. We're all Americans. Most people are generally like that and not just "mountain folk". They had mountain folk pulling guns on FEMA workers and at each other at the gas station like the lady said.
@isthattrue1083 Sadly fear will do some crazy things also if some one is phycology compromise stress can bring the worse out in them. From talking to a couple in the aria there was a serious fear that looting was going to become. A issue . Overall a horrible situation and I'm glad to see pepole are gathering to help.
@@freyja4954 doesn't help when a certain someone running for president is lying about FEMA, etc. some of the diehards were turning away help they desperately needed because of it and pulling guns on FEMA workers. Can't be having that in situations like this no matter how scared you are. I'm sure most people are scared, too. Short of lootersb trying to rob you, holding people at gun point makes you the looter.
Of course you guys went to pitch in and document the damage and protection and renewal efforts, omg thank you for your service. Not me sitting here on a Saturday morning just crying at witnessing the pain and beauty of being human. 😭😘🥰
Great episode. Thanks for sharing this story. Worth repeating...Out of difficult times, good things happen. Hopefully, this episode will encourage your viewing family to contribute to the relief effort you've highlighted in this video.
It will rebuild. It may take years, but it will happen. I lived through Katrina on the Mississippi gulf coast. For months afterwards, I would look around and think, "How can this place ever be rebuilt to what it used to be?" Well, 19 years later, it is rebuilt, different in many ways, but still rebuilt. It just takes time. A whole lot of time.
Gracias for spending time with the Hispanic children. You brightened their day.

So sweet and caring!
Sending love to James from Paris, France ❤🙏❤
Great job documenting this, it wasn't hardly covered by Chicago media
Beautiful episode Jordan & family!
As a North Carolinian myself, I thank you for shining a light on this area, it's devastation & showing that you can't keep this great NC area & it's ppl down.
Your effort, through your video, will be a blessing.
North Carolina ppl are some of the most resilient, loving, friendly, & hard working ppl in this country.
Maybe you should consider NC as a future home 😊.
Ya'll would be a great addition to our great state.
I'm very proud of the both of you for trying to do something to help people. Just going out of your way to help don't whatever you can.
Hi, I'm from England. I've been watching most of the videos. This one has put my faith in humanity stay safe people ❤
Absolutely amazing episode. Watched it with tears in my eyes. Makes you look at your “ problems” from a different perspective. Thank you
Thank you for highlighting the cooperation, gumption and can-do spirit that flows in the wake of the storm. I live in Asheville and your video is spot on in highlighting the needs and the incredible amount of cooperation and rebuilding that is happening all around the region.
Absolutely heartwarming. It’s so nice to see a country so polarised put their differences aside to help one another. Thank you for posting.
Amen yes!! About time too!!
I think this video highlights that we as a country may not be as polarized as national media tends to convey.
Thanks Steve. I hope more people think like you.
Jordan - you are such talented story teller! How interesting that you guys decided to sell the boat, moved back to land and now doing this - such meaningful work. Isabella and her siblings will be so proud of her parents when they are looking back at this! And Desiree - pregnant and all... you are amazing!!
Thank you for bringing us this story. Im in Sarasota and people here had a lot of damage. But nothing like what NC has endured. Very heartwarming to see people helping each other.
Absolutely ❤heartwarming, I LOVE that people are loving others.
I love that people were able to get down to the area with water and supplies and manpower... Thanking God for his mercy and for touching people to help financially
Great story telling J&D. I’m acting on the links to help support the community. I knew you were close to ground zero during the storm, being one hour away from the center of devastation was like dodging a bullet. Continued best wishes to you all.
Jordan, what a fantastic segment! Better than any national news media coverage. What to me stands out is the positive attitude that Megan and the people there have, and it’s not about what the government is not doing, its about the community. Kudos to you for sharing their story!
Absolutely EXCELLENT episode! I literally just sat down with a cup of coffee and said to my husband. I wish the news would give us up dates on what is going on now in NC. Then I click on TH-cam and there was your video! Excellent information the whole video and the woman that sharing the most was amazing telling the story. You guys have to do some follow up videos as time goes on. Thank you so much for sharing. You should be very proud of this one. I’m sharing this one with everyone.
You're right mainstream media seems to have forgotten too soon the disaster of Helen and it's after affects. Prayers for all affected ❤
Insurance companies are denying claims left and right in the mountains because they didn't have the right type of insurance for this once in a millennium event. Many have lost everything and will get absolutely zero financial help. Donations of funds directly to those families is the absolute best thing you can do. Thank you from WNC.
So sorry to everyone going through this awful tragedy 😢 We have tried to help you by sending supplies,food, etc. from Massachusetts. Hope it helps🙏🙏🙏🙏
I saw a huge contingent from your state doing search and rescue and passed their convoy a few weeks ago looking like they were finally getting to go home. So many states have sent aid it’s been overwhelmingly positive given how polarized the country has become. Thank you from WNC.
Thanks for sharing. The community coming together to help one another out was inspiring. We saw the same thing in Lahaina after the fires. I made a donation.
That was amazing. Thank you. Feeling inspired! Love Megan, She is wonderful!
Your channel was getting lost but now I think you have found your way again. Spend the winter in Ashville because the media has forgotten it. You have a voice and you have lots of mechanical and construction skills to contribute and your channel is your job. Great work on this. Now we want to watch you again
Paul
Thanks for highlighting “the helpers.” You folks are truly the best! 🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰
Amazing reporting. Thank you for sharing this with us. What an eye opener! So awesome to see people come together to support and help each other so unselfishly.
Hey Raft Guide Lady.... getting a bunch of high schoolers together and successfully navigate the wilderness without losing anyone is definitely a skill! You all rock! Much love and well wishes from the West Coast.
Thanks for this video! They need everyone's help. Keep up the good work!
Awesome video! Started crying when those precious children started singing! Thanks for helping the people out in NC! ❤
This is the most vivid and comprehensive account of Helene's devastation that I have seen. I've always appreciated your ability to craft a compelling narrative and vivid visual content. And here you have put your skills to such excellent use. I had been wondering how you were affected by Helene since we knew you had been exploring northern Georgia, not so far away. Happy to hear that you came through unscathed and most appreciative of your efforts to get the word out. Thank you!
Wow. What a heartfelt episode. Thanks for sharing.
I started following you guys about 8 months ago..I live in Asheville and it warms my heart to see ya’ll coming this way to help our amazing community.
Jordan my wife and I have been following you for years. This week's video was my favorite of all time. It was better than anything I have seen on national media. Thanks. I will be donating to one of these organizations. Love you and your family!
I love all of your videos. But for me, this is the best and most meaningful video ever. Thank you!
I’m in Lake Lure I’ve never seen humanity come together like this, it’s simply amazing and inspiring.
What happened to that old hotel right near the lake?
@@BHall-tw4ye It’s fine.
I’m your neighbor in Hendo. I’m going to be crocheting hats and scarves for the needy to bring some warmth and comfort. Cold weather is coming. If anyone knits or crochets, that would help someone. We just got our main road passable.
Living through the destruction of Harvey I can relate to the devastation, my heart goes out to those who were affected, praying for the domestic and wild animals too.
Thank you for making this video. This is my home area.
When I first started watching You two and a small tiny boat, I never in 1 million years. Thought you would be right here in my back door helping my neighbors y’all are just too cool and thank you. !
This both broke and warmed my heart with tears from both emotions. Thank you Jordan for sharing and caring
What a revelation, wonderful people, sharing the real story. Huge admiration to Megan for describing. I'm in awe at those who have travelled from near and far, have organised materials and skills. Particularly impressive is the company who brought their resources in to reconstruct the road. This is the resilience, the responsibility which is vital. Government, state, insurance are in it for different reasons. Who delivers when it matters? Thanks Jordan and Desiree for bringing this to your channel. Things are tricky for me but have contributed a little to each.
Thank you for sharing what is going on in this area. My heart is overwhelmed.
Thank you for getting ahead of yourselves and going to Ashville to do this episode. It's nice to see that everyone banded together and are just taking care of it, and accepting the help being given, and just tearing into the work. I've seen several other interviews and places of operation that just jumped in and took on the responsibility of helping the communities, and they aren't from anywhere around. From disaster relief organizations to Green Berets, and seal teams that have set up air drop areas for relief aid, even after being told by Gov reps not to. Gov needs to remember that they work for us, we direct them, and thank you for your support but we live here and know what's needed now. Glad you did this.
Amazing video Jordan! We’re up in Nova Scotia and have had more than our share of hurricanes. The destruction caused by these storms is heart breaking but the relief effort really restores your faith in humanity. Thanks for putting the focus on what’s truly important. Terrific video!
Thanks for sharing this uplifting update.
Jordan fantastic coverage of a terrible event. I was tearing up the hole time. I started to have faith in people helping each other.
Thank you for sharing this from our great state!!!
We started watching you because of your sailing....and we will miss that part. But we are so looking forward to what your future holds. This episode is truly one of your best. We all need to take a moment....to realize how blessed we are.
We had some damage here in Tennessee also, but nothing like theses people have had. They were at ground zero! You did good with this video, good job! yall be safe.
Your story telling ability during your travels served you well in relating to the flood and hardship that these folks have experienced. I knew your film school background would someday prove invaluable! I’m sure the Asheville news media will be contacting you for your journalistic skills!
He is very talented
Jordan and Desiree, I have been so worried about where ya’ll were when the storm hit because your last video, you were in that area and I didn’t know time wise when the video was made! I live in the Upstate of SC and we got hit (loss of trees, power and internet) but nothing like the area of NC that you visited. Thank you for using your incredible video skills to make this important video. So cool that ya’ll went to help and met so many people. Even living as close as I do, I was not aware of what was going on there. Thank you for your channel and for filming your amazing life - selfishly hoping you stay somewhere in the Southeast ❤️
Thank you for actually talking about this. I have been so weirded out by all of the sailing channels and other TH-cam channels I watch because they have not mentioned what happened in North Carolina once. It just shows how real you two are.
why would a sailing channel mention NC Hurricane Helene when they have nothing to do with it! So you are implying that people in other Sailing You Tube channels are not real? Project Atticus just so happened to be in the area. Do you actually think a sailing channel currently outside the USA would stop what they are doing to report on this, fly to NC and make a video? While devastating, people do have various priorities such as getting their yacht off a reef, which could be equally devastating, and they were focused on their yacht (HOME) not a hurricane on the other side of the planet. And yes the video was well done, and I follow various sailing channels
We had the Gatlinburg fires and now the floods ..I pray for East Tennessee and my neighbors across the mountain in Western North Carolina
Great job on telling their story! It's important that people do not forget the victims of hurricane Helena now that it has been over a month since the storm has passed. I'm going to donate to all three charities today as well as sharing the video on my Facebook page. God bless you!
These stories remind me of why i feel in love with the south. Fl born, NJ until 15. North GA and North Carolina hold my heart and the best memories. Prayers for all and I know that the spirit of the south will prevail.
Beautiful kind people. Know that whatever life throws at you, there are people out there willing to help. There is no you & I, there is only us. Crisis brings up together, but we are always stronger together.💪. Stay safe out there everyone & help people in need, be it a natural disaster, or personal tragedy ~ kindness goes a long way in this world of ours. ❤
Thank you Jordan -listening to this woman explain how the community came together. Absolutely amazing how they made it through. God Bless them all!!
Jorden thank you for sharing this episode. I live in Central NC and although I was not personally impacted by the storm that area of my state will be decades recovering. Places that I have visited out there are gone. Praying that the Mountain state of mind will sustain them, and the support will continue to help them rebuild.
Excellent job, WNC is where I grew up and it is heartbreaking. Thank you for doing such a great job telling this story
Texas here. I'm a retired old lady living in Houston, TX, and I've been obsessed with watching all the devastating videos coming out of NC. My heart aches for the people who lost loved ones or everything they owned. I've been wanting to donate some money but was waiting to find the right organization. I will be donating to Hurricane Helene WNC today. Thank you so much for this video and for putting the word out.
Sometimes humans can make bad choices and we all make mistakes but I love seeing just how good most people are and can be. So wonderful.
Great video. To see such community, support, love and hope in the middle of a heartbreaking disaster is uplifting. Thank you for telling their stories and letting us know how to best help them.
Jordan, I think you just answered the age old question: "Why do bad things happen to good people?" It's only through hardship that we are capable of
finding our best selves. The Big Guy was way ahead of us on that one.
I just have to say GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU! I live an hour from Asheville. We got the flash flooding, some property damage and a few tree damage. Power outages for some for days' but NOTHING!! what you guys have experienced! My heart and soul go out to ALL of you!!!❤
GOD Bless and Protect everyone affected THANKS for Sharing
As tragic as these two storms were, it's really brought the best of humanity out. I live in the Tampa Bay area, and I've met neighbors that I'd never met before, all going door to door around the neighborhood asking people if they needed any help. I truly believe we've made God and Jesus so proud in the way we've responded to these trying times. God bless to all that've been so affected by these storms and to all that've been there for so many to help. The response and actions of so many can be such role models to the people of the world, this is what humanity can be, if we all come together and work for each other instead of against one another. 🙏✝
You guys are awesome, well done for helping out. Wishing everyone a full recovery, beautiful how people are coming together for each other ❤
I am so thankful to see what love looks like in living color. Oneness and unity is powerful when people come together and dig deep into the essence of their soul. Awe is so Beautiful!
Best video you have done. You documentmented the aftermath like a true reporter. Thanks for sharing
You know guys, we were so sad when he heard about your decision to sell Atticus, but I really believe you have found a blessed calling with the work you are doing after the tragedy of Helena in Asheville. It’s amazing to see and cannot wait for your next episode. Love and blessings to all 😊
I live about two hours away from this devastation in NC and I’m familiar with community. I might sound antigovernment,but friends , neighbors, and family will help you in your time of need than government. Yes I believe good human nature came out of this disaster but it was there implanted all along with these type of people.. mountain country people are a different type of breed. Great video bringing out awareness and needs of this area , hope and pray they can get situated before winter. Jordan and Desire y’all have a big heart and thank you for sharing on your platform the needs of this community.. God Bless you!!
I agree that in these situations, everyone should pitch in and help that are able to. We're all Americans. Most people are generally like that and not just "mountain folk". They had mountain folk pulling guns on FEMA workers and at each other at the gas station like the lady said.
@isthattrue1083 Sadly fear will do some crazy things also if some one is phycology compromise stress can bring the worse out in them. From talking to a couple in the aria there was a serious fear that looting was going to become. A issue . Overall a horrible situation and I'm glad to see pepole are gathering to help.
@@freyja4954 doesn't help when a certain someone running for president is lying about FEMA, etc. some of the diehards were turning away help they desperately needed because of it and pulling guns on FEMA workers. Can't be having that in situations like this no matter how scared you are. I'm sure most people are scared, too. Short of lootersb trying to rob you, holding people at gun point makes you the looter.
Of course you guys went to pitch in and document the damage and protection and renewal efforts, omg thank you for your service. Not me sitting here on a Saturday morning just crying at witnessing the pain and beauty of being human. 😭😘🥰
Great episode. Thanks for sharing this story. Worth repeating...Out of difficult times, good things happen. Hopefully, this episode will encourage your viewing family to contribute to the relief effort you've highlighted in this video.
The children singing made me cry. Its beautiful how resilient people are. ❤ So much love from Texas.
