- Delivering Aid & Hope After Hurricane Helene | Prepping & Leadership in Action
In the wake of Hurricane Helene, my crew and I spent hours navigating the wreckage, encountering impassable roads and devastated communities. What we found was far worse than we imagined-locals in despair, struggling to rebuild. Our focus was on delivering essential supplies we had prepped for just this kind of emergency, offering a small but important lifeline to those in need. While logistics were far from perfect, we utilized our leadership skills to help coordinate and ensure aid reached as many people as possible.
It was a humbling experience, and we’re reminded once again of the importance of being prepared, not just for ourselves, but to help others when disaster strikes.

Republican or democrat, I don’t care! Suits need to stay in the office and out of the way. Don’t you agree? What can be done differently in future disasters to prevent the loss of life, even when emergency alerts come with only a few hours’ notice?
If you want to help and send supplies you can email or message me on instagram. You can also donate here. No donation too small:
Free Burmas

Cajun Navy

US Men’s Academy-a Non Profit for local boys/young men that I am part of. We’ve been bringing truckloads of supplies.

@@ackerbat nobody needs these political photo ops to raise money. The president can stroke his pen and raise it. Ukraine proved this. It’s all fiat anyway. The only way they do it in real terms is to sell bonds . Or straight donations like Trump is doing. He’s up over $10 mil I think directly to them.
No, I don’t agree. Half the people asked were bitching because Biden “wasn’t there”, and the rest of you were bitching because he was. You can’t have it both ways. It has historically been a US President’s job to survey disaster areas when issuing FEMA response has it not?
There has been so much misinformation coming from the disaster areas. Some report FEMA isn’t there, others report FEMA is there; some report threats of being arrested for helping, others deny that; some report DJT was there donating, others say he wasn’t. It’s incredibly frustrating to those also wanting to help because not only is the misinformation coming out of WNC rampant, but also people from the area are incredibly hostile to people online asking what they can do to help.
Yeah zero complaints that Trump was there right after the storm! The Biden administration waited for an ok as the person speaking said "At this point it's just people stranded. " Well , that wasn't the case when trump came in.
I'm with ya.I don't think that any of them dem or rep should have been there. The reality is that if the president hadn't shown up there , it might have made people feel like they didn't care and those people should feel confident that we are definitely looking out for them.
Millions of dollars was allocated even before the hurricane hit.
Don't listen to Fox News, take an honest.Look at how trump responded to disasters. He's not someone I would want to have.
In charge in an emergency
God Bless you for helping
Hats off to this guy... A true hero!
I agree with you, viewing from Kingston Jamaica 🇯🇲 , wishing all affected would get the help to bring back normalcy in their lives. ONE LOVE ❤👍🇯🇲
Yes.. Thank you guy. Your message and demeanor is very appricieated
Is that vegetable oil there on the ground?
WE need a day of mourning after this for all the people who lost their lives. ❤
Brilliant….let’s make these poor people wait an extra day before they get our help! Silliness! May sound
“so compassionate” to some people …. But it’s nonsense! We have NO time to waste getting them help!!!
@@oksillshe didn't mean now . The government already forgot
I agree, rescue the survivors, find the missing and deceased so they can be properly buried, then we can have a formal day of mourning, maybe a year from now?
@@oksills He said after you dolt.
It's like being in the Twilight Zone at first...looking around at all the damage. They're in shock & looking for solutions now...been there & feel for their losses.😢 God Bless those in a position to help that are ACTUALLY stepping up. They are the true heroes & I will pray for their safety.🙏🙏🙏 Trump sent Elon to set-up Starlink...praise God! It takes interest to apply for the $750 Kamala sent...so you can feed the family for a week. WOOHOO...NOT! 😡
Even if the folks were well prepared, no way to prevent it all from being washed away if you think you're well outside a flood zone. You go to the mountains to escape such events...not thinking it could even happen.
Our little home on a mountainside turned out to be just high enough up there. Virginia it idn't hit us badly, but I never thought I'd see flooding here like I saw. And then the drone footage started coming in from NC.👀👀👀👀 There are NO wORDS. I started calculating time based on how long it would take for me to cut ONE of those trees with a chainsa..in my youth. Then trying to calculate how many chainsaws, and how many people...????? Not to mention how many pieces of land moving equipment. Reestablishing roads, replacing power lines AND poles to put them back on, replacing bridges. Getting the cars and trailers pulled out....that is a HUGE job. I'm sure they're working on all those things, Gods bless you guys. I'm so happy to see volunteers coming in from all around to help. ❤❤
Agreed
I bet less than 1% of people bought Flood Insurance. My premium jumped to almost $1,000 last month but I live in New Orleans. Most people never even knew it was offered or needed in NC.
Considering the stuff they’re spraying above causes heavier rain and snow fall it’s not wise to live near streams or rivers etc. Imagine being prepped for anything except the river rising 20 ft. Your yr supply of food etc etc is all gone.
Yes, no one expects hurricane flooding 6 hours from the coast!
Americans coming together. Thank God. Thank you for all your efforts in helping our people. God bless you and your family.
government is a complete failure here. the american citizen to the rescue!!!
You’re welcome. God bless.
@@networkedperson Same thing with Haiti. All of the poverty and mud cookied and canibalism is just God punishing the Haitians for Massacre of all of the French women children of the island 200 years ago.
yeah then the politicians show up and screw everything up!
@@networkedperson You're the only hateful bigot here. Ask Jesus to help you with your brain rot.
It’s so bad. Cars buried in mud. Houses piled up on top of each other. Absolutely unimaginable
I couldn’t even imagine figuring out where property lines are. Don’t sell, sounds like the perfect land grab scenario.
This can be done by surveyors. They do not always use physical landmarks.
So many roads are out they won’t have a choice. Many roads will be years if they repair them at all
Ugh, good observation
Lithium mines
@@sassylady2001 A lot of places now are surveyed digitally through lidar surveying so hopefully some of these people can show their property line through NAD83 digital coordinate system
I'm proud of these Americans.
The Seaport workers have suspended there strike still Jan 15th 2025..They are going to negotiate and work. So hopefully people can get there medications even if is brought in by mules. This is a disaster for America. Thank you for all you do.
Thank you for the update. Great news, for now
Prayers answered there. I hope they were threatened with a heavy hand to stop that nonsense. Thats about as anti American of a move at this point as could be and I’m not above supplying rope to fix that type behavior. Those folks already make twice or more what these people here make. And they want up to 70 % more. Unconscionable.
Most imports are through the west coast ports. The shut down largely was only impacting exports.
Glad they came to their senses on that.
exactly why US needs to supply our own needs and not shipping everything in
I feel so sorry for the town of lake lure. The actions of the assistant fire chief are reprehensible. He threatened a helicopter pilot with arrest if he continued rescue operations. Meanwhile he was accomplishing nothing in terms of rescuing people out of his reach. The man the helicopter pilot was forced, under threat of arrest, to abandon, eventually scaled down the mountain without the assistant fire chiefs help, and low in behold at the bottom of the mountain across the raging River was the team that threatened to arrest the pilot who could have returned him to safety in three minutes. Instead of a safe helicopter ride the experts under the command of the assistant fire chief threw a rope across the river and pulled him to the other side. Imagine... The lake lure town manager defended his actions. She should be removed from office and the assistant fire chief immediately fired. Poor leadership.
That's what happens when you vote for repubs, they just want to control everybody.
Wow!
Fools and idiots.
Sounds like a case of arrogance and pride. Should be man enough to accept the help. Woke maybe?
Sounds like a DEMONcrat!!
I had an old man out here ask me if I had his insulin and I didn’t yesterday. He said I’m getting desperate and running low. Luckily I had it today and he was like man you have no idea how relieved I am. Offered him water and he said no I got a spring😂
Wow, praise God Jesus love you ❤
Awe thats amazing!
Bless all for helping fellow Americans.
supporting an insurrectionist sex offender for president is the furthest thing from helping
I was just telling a friend of mine who has been on vacation and just got bacK about the devastation in North Carolina. She said, "I thought you were going to stop talking about negative things. There is nothing you can do about it so just try to be happy." I feel like I'm in the Twilight zonez
She is the type I avoid. No empathy or compassion. Very cold and short sighted until it happens to her. May God soften her heart and open her mind.
You need new friends!!!!
@DL-ep5uk I'm sorry your friend feels emotionally not ready to process the devastation. I hope she will feel stronger soon, which will enable her to realize there are ways to help, even from a distance. In the meantime, blessings to you for caring and spreading the word so others can contribute or at least pray.
You need a new friend, that one has no soul.
Don’t count on our Federal Government to help!!!
I'm glad y'all are helping. It wouldn't matter if you had a whole house full of food and water if it all gets washed away. It's a tragedy for the folks who lost their lives and the people still suffering
When you started crying oh man. God bless you! It is so sad but it is good for everyone to hear what's going on. So we can help. God bless.
Mans got a heart
Bless you young man! Thank you!
Having had been vacationing in that area in the past, it is unbelievable to see that kind of devastation. I've been upset for days watching some of these youtube videos. I've been tearing up as well, and I'm a 71 yo man. Stay strong for those who need you. Take care and God bless! 👊🏼🇺🇸
Free Burma Rangers is an amazing ministry. I've been supporting them for years. Seen them in action in Burma, Syria, Iraq, Sudan and other places. As this event is unfathomable.....I can understand why they felt called to respond here within our shores
I had never heard of them before now! I will definitely be contributing to them. Thank you for letting us know about where they have been and what they do.
It's 4 years post fire in my town. Over 300 homes gone to the ground in a night. It takes a long time. It is incredibly hard to move on from disasters like this. If you have family affected PLEASE check up on them with compassion often. I bet none will get much sleep for awhile so dont worry what time you think about them, just text em. That will help more than you would ever think. I hope they all get back into homes faster than we did. You did great work man. Keep it up.

Stay strong, many Americans are thankful for you.
I'm in south Asheville so I want to say Thank You so much for everything you're doing.
Are you okay?
❤
@@Spoke76 yes i am. I got extremely lucky.
@@r7kelley553 I'm relieved to hear that. Thank you for responding back.💓
To stop private helicopters from helping was insane. Bureaucrapy at work. Cheeses! Power hungry idiots…. 😮
Exactly! Any authority stopping private people from helping others in need should be jailed immediately and prosecuted for crimes against humanity.
Criminal attitudes
don't forget them confiscating donations
Safety first don't need to rescue the people trying to help
The bigger question is why all the choppers at Bragg have not been ordered to help. This is the 3rd major disastrer this administration has f'd up, and just like the Maui fires, there were local cops acting like thugs and making the crisis much worse.
You truly are HEROES! Thank you so much for helping!!❤
Thanks for working for defenseless empathetic fellow beings. 🙏🏽♥️🙏🏽Beautiful Human Angels. 😇 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Praying for all those affected by this catastrophic storm Helene. Thank you so much Jason for all your doing to help. May God bless you and your family ❤️🙏🏿🛐❤️ 💜
My heart is broken, I’m extremely saddened by what occurred up in those mountains. It’s hard for me to know that rain was coming down three days in a row. I can’t find the words to explain Why. Man am I heart broken.
I am in Texas and My Son Jason in Wilmington North Carolina But He not Talking to me Anymore I Praying For North Carolina I know help is coming down there from Texas God be with you Oh Dear Lord Jesus saw all these videos
Praying for all the people!!! 🙏🙏🙏 Thanks for all you’re doing and for sharing this update.
God bless you for all your efforts. May the Good Lord return it to you 100 fold!
Hello from marshall this is my first contact with the outside world since last Thursday still no cellphone reception.
First contact! Hang in there 🥰
❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hello Marshall how are you?
Prayers for you and all that are affected by this disaster! I am in SW VA, and had a tree fall on my house and was without power for 4 days, but the damage was minor. I am so sorry for what others are going through, and I wish that I could do more to help. I want you to know that many of us are donating what we can and that we stand by ready to help with hands and hearts!
Prayers for you and yours - stay strong!
Thank You for helping your neighbors. 🙏 Bless you and all the families hurting right now. ❤
Thank you for helping JasonLee and all of those out there taking care of one another towards recovery and rebuilding. My heart breaks for all of the devastation, destruction and death. But is heart-warmed by this beautiful outpouring of compassion and love from the people for the people.
I live here in south Louisiana & I’m so proud of the Cajun Navy. A large amount of my family live in western North Carolina & South Carolina & are affected by Helene
Cajun Navy are legends, always jump in to help, risking their own safety without thinking twice. True heroes.
Politicians can’t be counted on. People helping people is where it is at. I’ll be donating.
It’s very nice of donating and please do but these people are going to need BILLIONS of DOLLARS. Let any politician come to take photos to ensure that money coming in. Plus the president was in Asheville airspace a short time. Air Force landed near my house in Greenville.
@@ackerbatso what are you saying, stop helping?
@@ForTLoveofDogs To say the politicians need to stay in the office. They get funding to rebuild. I’m emotional because this is my area too. They get world eyes on the event. Anything that will deter large donations or funding isn’t what we need.
Thanks for helping, I'm in east TN, other side of mtn, and we got nailed ,not as bad ,water was breaking dams and bridges,all the help from ppl like you and many more have made this deal able, just want to say thanks
I've seen a hundred reports from different people from the disaster zone and nobody came close to describing the situation as well as you. Excellent work my man.
Prayers to all affected and involved with helping may God bless you all
Two come together in prayer and god is with us
Thank u fellow brother we need to unite and help
The hurricane didn’t stall out. There was a storm ahead of it dropping inches of rain on the area before the hurricane dropped many more. The hurricane actually moved by pretty fast. Thank God for that. But there was nearly 30” dropped in some places in 48 hrs. That was the problem.
Thank you for all that you are doing. We have donated to a local church that is taking supplies up there. Keep reminding people to continue helping because this is going to be needed for many many months. Because when the press stops talking about it everyone tends to forget. Stay safe and may God Continue to Bless you and your Family.
Yes, donate to churches bc apparently FEMA is confiscating supplies and monetary donations from ppl who r showing up there to help, but they can’t confiscate anything from the churches! Ppl r making videos talking about this! They’re telling ppl to donate to the churches bc it will get to the ppl who need it!
FEMA finally showed up and started confiscating donated supplies and funds from volunteer organizations.
Truckers tires are being slashed at truck stops.
A town meeting was called in Chimney Rock and they were told to vacate immediately before they bulldozed the remaining structures and bodies.
Whatever number of deaths and missing you hear you can rest assured it's way lower than the actual number.
I live about 100 yards away and 20 feet above the Tuckaseegee river in Cullowhee NC, water got within 4 feet of my porch.
I had 2 friends that drown, 5 more were seen being swept away and many more missing.
And the bad part missed us ...
So many good people need help. Most will never ask for themselves but they need help. Please help if you can.
It seems like there is lots of help.

Citizens helping citizens = SMALLER GOVT.
That’s how it should be! It’s not about politics, race or religion it’s about doing the right thing and coming together in time of need. Sadly the government doesn’t want unity and or private help! They want to be in control of everything! Good job helping. Can’t do it myself from Texas!
The Government will pay for a lot of the cleanup.
AMEN!
Perhaps that's just what we need in this country.
They are out of money...FEMA said that yesterday... @@briancosgrove6120
I was going to move to Asheville earlier this year. Something happened and caused delays so I'm still in my current home state. It's almost like something helped me dodge the disaster. I'll pray for those affected by this storm.

Where there were landslides, there is exposed earth and that is not stable for the next minor rainfall. The destruction of Hellene is not over and I hope that people understand this. Be careful out there. The Appalachian Mountains are stabilized because of the forest - the tree roots. The soil on these steep slopes is held in place by the deep roots of these trees. This event wiped out so many trees. That protection is gone in these areas.
God bless and protect you. Thank you for what you're doing to help these people.
God bless u
In this case, emergency food would have been worthless. Washed out with the house. Unless they buried it.
Thank god for your realistic attitude and ability. This is where we are going. Community coming together to be self reliant. That was just an unbelievable storm. A real high energy strike.
Carpenter living in utah and when it makes sensebi am going to come and help people rebuild thee homes if anyway to make contacts to women or families who need this kind of help I want to find a way to get on a call list. Not about money all I need it a place to Sr up my tent and food with minimal $ to make ends meet not sure if I can post a number but I want to help when the power is on and will fund my own trip expenses to help people In need. Wonder if this message will lead to anything. Cannot think of anyway I would rather spend my time
Bless you, brother.
God bless you! That's amazing.
Join the Cajun Army.
@ladyartisan good to know will check it out thanks
Thank you for what you are doing, Jason!
I live in swannanoa, the way this storm absolutely decimated the area is truly unfathomable. It has changed this area forever. Thank you for doing so much and being so considerate of your own footprints while here. So many people coming here just to film and “see it” for their TikTok 🙄
I hope you’re doing okay. I was just about to make an offer on a property not too far away. I don’t even know if it’s still there.
We were in Swannanoa delivering supplies. I’m so sorry about what’s happened. If you know of anyone that needs aid, supplies, or anything else please email me or message me on IG. I can’t promise anything but we will try our best to get to them and should be able to. We’ll be in Burnsville tomorrow. We spoke to someone that was working on the power lines in Swannanoa. He told us that Burnsville really needed help.
Free Burma Rangers is an amazing organization. I’ve never had direct interaction with Cajun Navy but never heard anything bad about them and only heard wonderful things.
God Bless you for blessing others. May the victims of Helene meet more caring people like you, in Jesus Chirst.
Thank you for helping these people.
Glad to do it. I’ll be back out there with a larger group of our men to help however needed
Great job for going up there Jason it’s great to see everyone coming together and helping out and I’ll be saying extra prayers for everyone affected up there. Prayers from Louisiana brother.
Prayers and much love from Australia, heart broken for your beautiful community sir, thank you for sharing and caring, its mind blowing to see what your all dealing with.
My heart and prayers go out to your family and all the folks hit by the storm.
The rumor's are other people trying to help are being turned away.
Thank You for helping. God bless Yall. We dodged a big one where I am in N Fl. So many people's lives are forever changed. 🙏🙏
Ion know what they need to do
God bless you all for helping. ❤ Boots on the ground is the only way to get the truth and the help needed. ♥️🙏🇺🇸
The suits need to be fired and the federal agencies abolished.
I think that the Federal government needs to step up and HELP.
THANK YOU...THOSE of us living in NW and many other places don't know how bad it is...the news is..,welllllllll.....y'all know......
Lord have mercy on these people. Hearing this,it's hard to say how many died.
It's heartbreaking. I'm in Australia so we have had similar experiences with cyclones, floods and fires. It takes years to start feeling even a semblance of normalcy. It doesn't go back to normal and the trauma stays with those folks who make it through.🙏🙏🙏♥️
Bless you so much for all you do😊
Bless you and thank all for helping! You explaining this just gives us the realization of what has happened! This is unbelievable and so sad!
I think this is a HUGE Learning Curve happening right now.... Concerning how to take care of ourselves .... without depending on government!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Government doesn’t care about it citizens, about time people actually Woke up
I hope the learning curve includes the reasons why natural desasters happen actually...more often....worse...more violent...all over the world.
Wildfires in Australia 2019/20 , Europe in 2022, Canada in 2023 in a extent never before
Floods from heavy rain in Europe 2002, 2021, 2024 , Now in the US and in Japan
Heat waves like in India, China and Southeurope in 2023 and 2024
In South Africa it snowed recently about 6-7 ft ....that is unusual either...
Scientists warn that extreme weathers like heat waves, drough, heavy rain, violent storms are are becoming more common, ...the new normal...
But everybody lives on as before and wonders how this could have happened. And blames the governement....for doing too much ( trying to mitigate or stop climate change)...for doing too little (Because the economy has been sleeping and consumers are complaining that things are becoming more expensive).
But, the costs of natural desasters all over the world are much higher than preparing and change.
Not only the costs for insurence....rebuilding all the damage ( infrastructure, homes, shops, etc.)...migration was and is not only because of political issues and wars... there are regions where life will be impossible in the future because of the heat, droughts or a rising sea level.
I hope that the learning curve results in practical considerations and solutions that are implemented....and not only youtube comments and confused accusations against “the others”.
In a democracy and a democratic electoral process the governement is, what the most of ther voters choose.
But as everybody impacted by such a wide spread ( more than 4 states with i dont know how much sqaremiles) natural desaster is... overwhelmed...the governement is also. I Think Helene was too much in too big a region...even for your governement.
And there might be poeple not able to take care of themselves...the have to depend on governement...
Takin care should not only be for "ourselves"...that is pore egoism and thunnel thinking.
Rethink, tackle and look for long-term solutions not only for your own little bubble...a bubble can pop!
remember how pissed everybody was at G.W. Bush when he didn't go to NOLA after Katrina... right away. people were so mad
I was living in Baton Rouge at the time. Didn't think much of him before, but his asinine comments to his dude Brownie was the crowning touch.
"Yet doin a heck of a job Brownie!" W.
So proud of my fellow Americans pulling together. Help is on the way- gofundme’s are picking up
Thank you for telling us who is actually helping and who has boots on the ground.
Great that you were able to use the vegi oil you stockpiled to deliver gasoline and supplies to others! Very smart!
Thanks for being such a great citizen!
So… 2 military helicopters could be used to transport the Governor, but NOT for evacuations???? Do I understand this right??? That’s just beyond despicable!
There are evacuations going on constantly. It made a lot of people feel good to have the governor come and show face
@@billa8083 when he flew in, the private helicopters were stopped from taking off and landing. Yeah…feel good about that.
Government is tone deaf and doesn’t care. Just a photo op. Pathetic.
@@KayRay424roy cooper has always been awful
Katrina was the blueprint for the government leaving us to die in calamity, unfortunately. We get what we accept.
There needs to be a very large space to LAND the military helicopters. Many places can't support a landing. The smaller copters are even finding difficulty landing.
From Sydney Australia - this is devastating...thank you so much to people like yourselves that are on ground zero and helping. Prayers for all.
You are correct when you said “weather it be a natural disaster or a man made disaster “. This is the latter. 25”-30” of rain in a strategically important place to bring everything to a halt for quite a while. Excellent job doing what you are able to help those innocent victims. It’s heartbreaking
Thank you, Jason, for sharing more of an up close & personal view with us “along the way”. It's heartbreaking & when you told the tragic personal story about the Mom & children “I completely lost it”🙏🙏🙏 I’ 'm thankful you all returned home safely 🫶🫶🫶
…and they were told by officials to shelter in place due to the high potential for flash flooding to occur (which, of course, was very accurate). Those dear folks were just doing their level best to keep safe and stay alive. It’s all just so utterly heartbreaking and devastating. Sending much love to everyone from Canada. My mum was born in Hiddenite. Great-great-great grandpa and grandma Elijah Davis and Lacira Millsaps Davis are buried just south of Damascus in Davis Hollow. Our roots go back to pioneering NC with the Boones, only they moved on & our ancestors stayed. Almost all of our relatives on her side live in W. NC and Tennessee. We’ve been praying day & night for everyone, including the rescuers like yourself.
God bless you for your comforting words, and for remembering your ancestry. Thank you for your prayers!
Im prayer hard for everyone there and all you can do is be prepared as best you can. I’m a preper or what ever the kids are calling it and even then it’s no guarantee
Location. Amd most of them had every reason to think they were safe. 💔💔 I can only hope that those that had stored food and water get to use it. I'd love to start hearing some survival stories.
There's more support from Americans and locals than the government and then they want to dictate how we help them. We need to stand up to these bullies and politicians.
Not true. There are 5000 federal people on the ground, with $20 million already going to this effort. Project 2025 p. 168 does away with FEMA and leaves it all to states and localities. P. 707, break up NOAA, so we won't have reliable weather forecasts. Tragedies like this need to be a joint effort without people pointing fingers.
It's frustrating, but it's also understandable. For every capable person out there really helping and invaluable to their neighbors; there are 12 more that are just look-y loos milling around under foot and getting in the way. Tight organization really matters in a time like this. I don't blame the National Guard for trying to maintain coordination and order.
@@karencoyle3011 Very well said!
God bless the folks going in to help. Our government is inept, so we must take care of each other!

Now there are supplies everywhere! From black mountain to swannanoa every business has supplies of everything you need outside so the communities are doing a lot better! We still are without power in our neighborhood but luckily have great neighbors who do and of course supplies available if we need them. We will get through this and rebuild.
Thank God & all those providing assistance ❤🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for sharing this information with everyone so we actually see the reality of what happened. I have so much respect for you!🙏❤
100% agree with you about politicians getting in the way. Thank you! 🙏🏻
Just so you know, as reviled as politicians are, we vote them into office. Also, without them, your State wouldn't get squat for necessary projects so dearly needed.
@@davidconaway2830 what projects are so dearly needed more than safety, security amd life-saving pursuits? I’m sure greedy land developers who seek to cash in on selling off tiny parcels with no other purpose than to cram pack more people into a square inch of land than is sustainable is not such a need. I’m sure wasting resources flying expensive tax-layer funded aircraft over disaster zones while innocent lives hanging on for dear life is not such a project either. Exactly what purpose does any politician serve other than to talk about other people’s ideas without ever successfully implementing a one of those ideas. So what would be one of these projects that only this fantastical government savior complex are the rest of us enlightened individuals to look towards?
Also, budgetary concerns could be managed without an overinflated government managing and redistributing tax payers wealth. They’ve proven how they squander it and are thee most irresponsible people to be given access to any wealth. Until these people actually go out and earn a living wage themselves, they don’t deserve to control any one else’s purse strings. What are they doing with the trillions of dollars? We don’t see any benefits of our equity they’ve pillaged from us. No safety nor security have come from our government and that is their ONLY purpose. They’re useless until they can provide that basic requirement.
All are corrupt scum! This hurrican was man made with geoengineering anyway, like the horrible attack in Lahaina! They clsoed everything down there, preventing people to escape, untold numbers of children were snatched and disappeared too! DEW technology caused teh fires, where aluminium was melted without heat and creating puddles of the metal from engines, wheels on the streets! DEW weapions used like in 911, that dustified the towers! Nothing else can casue such effects! So, this is a war and the Deep State lunatics will not stop until thei agend is complete! Unless people take this in their own hands as they should! No rigged elections will solve that ever with corrutp Zionist owned candidates and other psychopaths in positions of power and all the terrorists alphabet soup organisations that are part of the agenda!
What an absolute tragedy this is a national one. I agree you need a national day of mourning over 200 lives lost & hundreds still missing its catastrophic. God bless everyone affected & god give strength to all the rescuers praying for survivors. Just heartbreaking 💔 love from UK ❤ 🇬🇧🇺🇲🙏🏻
Thoughts and prayers from South Carolina. Our community is doing what it can sending supplies north. We have damage here, but NOTHING like that.
Heartbreaking as a fellow south carolinian what's happened to our sister state, just Heartbreaking
Thank you. I have kin in the area, both NE and SW of Ashville. We were told to stay away from the area under threat of arrest. I am 71 yo and had no intention of going over and adding to the problem, but if my kin needed me, I would be there. Again, thank you, and may God bless!
Ya'll are doing a great job. Thank you both. Chin up focus, may God's peace fall upon you both.
I hope everyone wakes up to what you all are going through, what happening to you can happen to everyone, FEMA showed up in Maui after the fires, guess where they stayed? At the Four Season Resort. Many complaints from the locals, the fire victims too didn't have food nor water. The surrounding islands band together and came on boats to bring them supplies. Their offers from FEMA was also $750.00 per address, so if multiple families live in one address which has several homes on it they could only get one $750.00..... yes, I'm donating we must stand together and help the best we can..... 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
God bless you and your family, thank you for helping and that’s the absolute least I could say. A true patriot.
Have visited this beautiful region a few times & seeing the human trauma & destruction brings you to tears. On top of this, groceries are so expensive that many people couldn't afford to stockpile very much extra food for emergencies. It's good to see people like you helping residents get out of this mess.
You have explained more than the MSM!...This country is under siege!
We weren’t going to film because I didn’t want it to seem like I was being opportunistic. Once the leader of Cajun Navy told my wife that there needs to be more coverage on this she pulled out her phone and started filming.
Prayers from Florida. I wish I was physically able to go there and help. Thank you for sharing and helping. I’ll donate to a reputable organization soon.
There will be plenty of time to help. I plan to go in the spring and work with Samaratin's Purse. This rebuild will be years
12:43 That particular spring has been flowing there for years to my knowledge. I have often seen people filling containers there. A real blessing to have it there now and that it wasn't damaged. Thanks for all you're doing! Stay safe
I’m so glad they have that source. Thanks. So are the hundreds of volunteers that I encountered
@@ONThreeThank the Lord for the families of the Appalachian mountains & foothills! You all are showing our children & the families from other nations how the fearless American spirit reacts when called upon for help! It's beautiful & tragic all together in one moment! Sending Love & Strength prayers from the west coast! 💖
God bless you for reporting on this and going there to help all you can. I’m in Montana, and it’s not even being covered on the news!! I’m so upset over this! Everyone I know around here think there’s about 86 dead, and 200 missing. Total! Out of the entire hurricane the main stream news is saying this. I have to think there’s many thousands dead when entire towns are completely gone!
May God be with you all 😞🙏🏻
Real non scripted news like offgrid desert farming with paul and adrienne, this channel on three, and on tik tok independents news are seeing 10000 to 20000 people or more gone and much more of the 95000 folks who lived in Ashville NC alone. This is what bastards the top fake news stations truly are
I live here and we are now able to start communicating some. We have relatives in another state and they said the news outlets are not truly telling how catastrophic this has been. I truly believe we will have thousands lost. We have countless areas completely gone. I wish more would realize like you have. Thank you
Bacon drop special operations into a forest with enemy fire, but they can't draw pallets of water with a military helicopter that can hold a tank. Come on what's going on.
Lost my house to a fire. It's a helpless feeling. Made worse by how many others lost their's as well - all due to an arsonist.
And on Mother's day.
I cant even imagine a disaster of this volume that this weather caused.
There is no fixing this quickly, if ever.
Prayers to all affected, and blessing to all who are helping!
God bless you sir , I know you are not looking for rewards but I hope and pray you are rewarded with happiness and may the images you saw not keep you up at night.. Thank you from a brother on the border state .
