“Hurricane Helena’s devastation in North Carolina, particularly in Asheville where my daughter and her family live, has been a stark reminder of the fragility of our modern conveniences. For countless residents, basic necessities like power, water, and transportation have been disrupted, leaving them stranded and vulnerable.
I’m incredibly grateful that my daughter and her family are safe, but the images of widespread destruction and the stories of hardship have filled me with deep concern. This disaster highlights the urgent need for our communities to prioritize resilience and support one another in times of crisis.
While we continue to pray for those affected, I urge us all to consider what we can do to help. Whether it’s donating to relief efforts, volunteering, or simply checking in on our neighbors, every act of kindness can make a difference.
As a nation, we must also reevaluate our priorities and invest in infrastructure that can withstand these kinds of natural disasters. It’s time to shift our focus away from weapons of destruction and towards building a more sustainable and resilient future for all.”
