    North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains have a special place in my & Jerry's hearts. I lived in Boone, NC for 4 years while attending App State, and we often return to the High Country for special occasions or just to rest & recharge. As most of you know, Helene absolutely DESTROYED the entire region, and our western neighbors desperately need our immediate (and long-term) help. There are so many efforts to get resources to the region, and if you are looking for a trustworthy place to donate, I am listing several organizations that I recommend. You can click on the links to learn more. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a huge difference. Please keep all of those affected by Helene in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you friends ~ Jenny 💗

    I thought about you, my son in Spartanburg SC. It’s devastating up there. Power company said 9 days no power. We bought a generator and 15 gallons gas, drove up there. A 1hr normal trip, is now 3 hrs as many roads are closed. We were blessed🙏🏻 they are now with basic needs. We left them smiling with their fan blowing, little lamp bright, a portable burner to cook on🙏🏻 We pray for our beautiful NC mountains & Everyone affected ❤

    Jenny, I love your heart. The way you started thinking of others and suggesting donations to help them really shows what a caring a person being you are. Thank you for walking us through what Creekside experienced. I’m so happy to hear that you and your family are safe along with all of the Creekside team. You also have a beautiful attitude about the damage yet staying grateful, optimistic, and steadfast ❤ it reminds me of what Job said. ‘The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised.”🙏

    We live in North Texas , is so sad to see all the damage everyone received. The beautiful gardens 😥 as a gardener it saddens me so much to see all that hard work destroyed. This was a horrible storm. God bless and Prayer sent to the whole area devastated by the storm.
    On another note. With no comparison to the life of a human being.
    Having gardens destroyed is devastating, I know your heart hurts looking at all your hard work, yes your thankful for not having more damage than you did and Goodness no one is thinking you’re looking for pity. Although prayers wont hurt. 🙏🙏🙏❤️

    About a month after we moved into a house in NY, we had a winter storm knocked out our power for a week and we lost our well also. While we had enough snow to melt for water, the whole house generator got installed real quick after the storm cleared. One of the best investments we made and paid for itself many times over.

    Thanks for the update Jenny! I live in Western NC - thankfully, my little community is fine, but driving by the devastation in other areas is absolutely gut-wrenching! It was hard not to burst into tears the one time I was able to leave the house! There’s no gas in the area, so we are staying close to home for now, and thanking Jesus for the courage to face the aftermath of this storm! I look forward to visiting Creekside, again, sometime soon! I appreciate your encouraging words!❤

    I'm glad you guys are ok Jenny! We lost three trees on less than half an acre. A 55 ft evergreen fell and landed in between our huge back deck and our kids trampoline. The top of it fell on top of one of our 20 ft Crepe Myrtles with the tip top of it missing our cars and our house. I will take it!!
    Praying for our neighbors all over our region who have been affected. We are members at Grace Church and our church is also actively on the ground around the upstate ready to help out community. I'm sure there are a lot of churches helping our beautiful region.
