The Hope is in the Help

Parts of North Carolina and Tennessee have been destroyed. I had to stop scrolling and do something.


The Statesville Airport is going full throttle sending out supplies. The private planes fly cargo to the Hickory Airport where the boxes and bags are transferred to helicopters which head to the mountains where help is critical.


They have a list of what is needed. I loaded up all my Amazon boxes with the help of my neighbor, Nancy, and drove to the supply line. I even included Barley and Charlotte’s pet carriers.

Poptop cans do not need a can opener.

I just bought two of my favorite lanterns and put in new batteries. Imagine that kind of darkness!


A plane took off while we were unloading. Cheers rose from the helpers. I hugged the lady as the last box was lifted from my vehicle.


Sometimes we have to BE THE HOPE.
I hear planes and helicopters flying over my house to head up river to Hickory. I love the sound. That is what hope sounds like.


HOORAY for the HELPERS

  1. Good for you! I can’t send ‘stuff,’ of course, but I donated to The Cajun Navy. They helped us out during Hurricane Harvey in so many ways. Now, they’ve been instrumental in airlifting supplies like water and helping with search and rescue, but they also have helped other groups distribute multiple Starlink connections to help reestablish communications. Several of the more well-known storm chasers also provide assistance when the rough weather they track does real damage. Ryan Hall and the Y’all Squad are absolutely terrific. You can see a little about them here. You can follow them (and the Cajun Navy) on the socials for some of the best reporting from the hard-to-reach places.

Despite rising awareness of their environmental impact, many still opt for private flights to save time.
