[@samjubilee6593]

[@pollysshore2539]

They can provide different options for temp housing to people that experience significant - total damage. A lot of it depends on what options the family or individuals wants or needs. It depends on the size of the household, medical needs, etc. They can rent and renovate. They have been looking at vacant properties and properties available for direct lease. FEMA has put out notices to property management companies. They can make some existing structures accessible for those with disabilities if need be. This is an option for larger and multi generation families. They are trying to make sure the properties do not fall place undo strain on people, so they are trying to set them up within 30 mi ranges of their work, etc. If people don’t have a place to put a temporary trailer right now they will opt for a hotel/motel or a different option. Most people are getting families with children, elders and the chronically ill - disabled into temporary housing first. It’s standard triage in a disaster area. This is also true of groups constructing tiny homes and temporary shelters for free or for a discounted price. I know Buncombe Co schools put in an order for 70 some tiny homes a couple weeks ago being built by a company in Virginia. 26 of their high school students are displaced, as are several teachers and staff. The homes will have compost toilets, solar power, etc. A local non profit that makes transitional homes is building prefab small shelters on wheels that can be pulled anywhere and used as storage - a shelter. RV’s have been brought in. Tiny homes have been given to some elderly residents. As cleanup progresses and water situations are sorted out more temporary residences will go in. People are able to stay in hotel, motels and inns now. This is happening all around WNC. Some hotels been able to hook up large potable water tanks to their system. Several locals also have friends and family here that they can stay with for a while.

And so many generous hard working people volunteering their time and tools from all over the world. It's amazing seeing that side of humanity come out!!

I haven’t gotten $750 or anything. It’s a huge slap in my face. They don’t care they are here for some other reason and it’s not to help us at all. I’m at a loss of what to do right now. I haven’t even gotten my last week of works pay because my boss lost everything so I’ve had to live off what little money I had in the bank and that’s been it but it’s all gone and fema just keeps telling to basically be patient. So I don’t know what’s going to go on here but I’m scared. I made a go fund me but I’m terrible at asking for anything so it hasn’t been very productive I’ll say.

I don't understand why they're building a FEMA camp in Wilkes County. I live in Wilkes, and we're like 3 hours from Asheville, and while there was some damage and flooding in certain areas from Helene, it was nothing compared to what other places got. Wilkes County does have an airport, so that might have something to do with it. I know literally every county surrounding us got it worse than we did so maybe Wilkes is just a good center point to reach those harder hit areas. I don't know. Trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. What I do know is as soon as that guy said Wilkes County alarm bells were going off in my brain. I don't trust it, and I definitely dont like the idea of one being right on top of me. My gut tells me it's not a good thing, it being here, and I trust my gut.

Those trailers they are sitting up in FEMA CAMPS are 5 bedrooms and really nice according to truckers hauling them in

[@hossieb4874]

TY for question the FEMA representative for clarification. Gentry n Sons transported @least 4 of those mobile homes down there n was told they hv 5 bedrooms.. I am concerned about volunteer workers n citizens that have breath in that dust w/o protective gear! May God Bless you all! 🙏

Thankyou for telling the truth about what is the reality for us in the Helene distaster area. We greatly appreciate all the hard physical labor to get us back to a new normal.

God bless you, all you do and all those you serve. The little houses are amazing. Watching all this happen has changed my life, my heart and my love of people. May you be blessed with a gentle rain to wash the dust out of the air. 🤦🏻‍♀️♥️🙏🏽🎈

[@junkstorejunky8394]

God bless you and your family for what you are doing!!! It sounds so overwhelming just hearing you talk about things. And I can tell how much deeper down the rabbit holes things go but you stop and don't go there. May God give you all strength to get through this. Sending prayers!!!

[@JoanRemaley]

Keep letting us know how to usefully help all of you. You offer common sense solutions. I’m 77 so I cannot physically help. I can spread your word, pray, offer limited financial help. Please continue reaching out. God bless all of you.

"There but for the grace of God go I ..." (John Bradford?) I live by the beach, and I have seen the destruction of tornadoes and hurricanes. My heart is with you all.

[@Ms.K1177]

Thank you beautiful for everything you do. And No this is not how disaster relief should work .. I'm so sorry for the disaster/hurricane 🌀 but even more sorry that these leaders are not handling things rightfully & ethically in my humble opinion & in a timely fast manner ..fema boots is more like redundant bs & they waste money". All the volunteers are the real heros "! Thank you beautiful souls"! For everything you've done"! Thank you to everyone who has actually came in & helped these beautiful mountain strong folks

[@jenni-Poo]

You are doing a great job. I so wish I had money and time to help. I feel for everyone affected.

[@sandybrennan3507]

You are such an amazing woman of God with such a huge heart. I almost wished I lived there. I would be on your doorstep every day. Can’t wait until your next update. Those tractor sheds or she sheds are awesome. ❤ May the Lord continue to bless you and multiply your loaves and fishes. Shalom dear sister. 😇🙏♥️

[@kayprice9621]

You dear are an amazing person

[@cj77733]

Heart breaking 💔

[@orca1717]

What you are doing is so amazing! We had the same problems in disaster zones in Japan. The delayed and not-very-helpful government pitch-ins, thieves and business recruiters with different motives, (dumped) used stuff and expired foods for donations… I guess depending on the size of disasters, the priority is very different, and the leaders and communities have to plan accordingly. Thanks for bringing your light to the situation. I believe spreading awareness of those situations would bring better disaster responses when it happens again somewhere in the future.

[@cynthiagrim8479]

It took our community 3 years before we got any money from FEMA.

[@AcornHillHomestead]

This government is a disgrace, people have died while waiting for our government to “help”. As usual government just wastes precious time and resources in the name of helping.

[@clayshiawillis4725]

Just the tip of the iceberg !

[@Margaret-ry9yy]

I dont get why they dont send in fema trailers for the residents. They are cheap self contained,warm shelters. They could have large army tents with cots for fema workers. Some trailers could be put on peoples property till things are figured out. I can't stand this all the millions spent on presidential campaigns.

[@janicenodine9083]

Yall got together and TALKED, that’s how people wake up. Lots are finally waking up. What you think is a conspiracy, is really the truth.

[@maryjensen1888]

You are an amazing lady.🙏💌🎤💥My heart is still broken for the people effected by this horrific situation.😢🙏
