Here in Western North Carolina, in the wake of Hurricane Helene, we have something to say:
We’re not leaving.
We grew up here. Our families have a long history of living and working in these mountains. Our ancestors built this community. We care deeply about this place, our history, and our future.
Within hours of the rain stopping and the water receding, we began working with Yancey County Emergency Management, the North Carolina Department of Transportation, first responders, social service agencies, and our neighbors to clear debris, stabilize bridges, and repair the roads.
In the two weeks since the storms, we’ve made incredible progress. But we still have a long way to go.
We’re not giving up.
We built this community. We’re here to rebuild it, too.
We’re not leaving.
