John,

Hurricane Helene’s impact on western North Carolina has been devastating. Hundreds of thousands of people are experiencing power outages, severely damaged infrastructure, road closures, and more. And too many families are dealing with the heartbreak of losing a loved one.

My thoughts and prayers are with the first responders, National Guard, road workers, linemen, and more who are working tirelessly to save lives and help our communities recover and rebuild.

Please consider making a donation to the North Carolina Disaster Relief Fund to provide critical aid to western North Carolina flood victims.
