NORTH CAROLINA – When Hurricane Helene unleashed its fury, countless families faced upheaval, including the Thomas family. They suffered in many ways. The workshop where they earned a living was destroyed. In addition, they lost access to clean water. But because of YOU, hope wasn’t lost. With your support we were able to help start the recovery process by providing professional-grade tools and a vital clean water system to help them get back on their feet.
The Devastation Left by Hurricane Helene
Hurricane Helene brought destruction that left families like the Thomas’s in terrible shape. Their basement workshop, a place where the father-son duo bonded and earned a living together, was submerged. This wiped out all their essential power tools. This loss of equipment didn’t just affect their livelihood, it struck at the heart of their dreams and security.
Operation Blessing Arrives

With this level of support, our disaster response team was able to provide essential provisions, including a comprehensive clean water system and a full set of professional-grade tools.
Providing Clean Water After Hurricane Helene
The clean water system was a game-changer for the Thomas’s. As the farther Matthew shared, “The water makes it possible to use those tools.” Equipped with the essential machinery and clean water, the family could get back to work and provide for the family again.
