Hurricane Helene recently brought unprecedented devastation to Asheville, North Carolina, with effects that are still unfolding. The hurricane, which made landfall as a Category 4 storm, unleashed torrential rainfall, resulting in nearly 30 inches of rain over just three days—equivalent to about four months' worth. The overwhelming downpour led to catastrophic flooding, causing the French Broad River to reach record levels not seen since 1791. The impact was felt deeply in Asheville and the surrounding communities, leaving homes destroyed, vehicles overturned, roads washed out, and businesses submerged in mud and debris.

The aftermath of Hurricane Helene is severe, with over 450,000 residents in North Carolina still without power and many communities isolated due to damaged infrastructure and impassable roads. Search and rescue efforts are ongoing, with emergency responders working tirelessly to reach those affected. The state’s National Guard has been deployed to assist in the recovery, but the scale of the disaster has made recovery a daunting task. In Asheville alone, homes and businesses in districts like Biltmore Village have been heavily damaged, while thousands of people remain displaced or in dire need of basic supplies.

In response to this crisis, we are launching a campaign to sell special sticker packs to support the relief efforts. All proceeds from the sales will go directly to Beloved Asheville, a local organization deeply involved in the community's recovery. Beloved Asheville is on the ground, providing crucial support services to those affected by the hurricane. These funds will assist in providing food, water, shelter, and other essential resources to help residents begin the long process of rebuilding their lives and community.

By purchasing these sticker packs, you’re not just buying a product—you’re directly contributing to the relief and recovery of a community in desperate need. Your support will aid families who have lost their homes, help restore access to essential services, and bring hope to Asheville during this time of crisis. Let's come together to show that, even in the face of such overwhelming loss, we can help Asheville rise again. Together, we can make a tangible difference in the lives of those impacted by this disaster.
