Don’t Wait on the Government—Here’s How We’re Saving Our NC Communities

We need to have a real talk about what's happening in the North Carolina mountains after Hurricane Helene.

First off, if you have family or friends up there or headed that way, *please* let them know looting is on the rise. Just yesterday, a sheriff told me to make sure anyone out there is carrying. These folks aren’t all bad—they’re desperate. When people are desperate, they do desperate things.

I’ll say it plain: the Government ain't coming to save us. It’s us, the citizens, who have to step up. And let me tell y’all, my community—just over an hour away—showed up. They brought water, diapers, formula, bleach, vinegar, and more to our donation sites. We’re taking even more donations today, and I'm making sure they go straight to the hands of volunteers I trust.

Why? Because people told me, “Leigh, we don’t trust the relief organizations anymore.” And you know what? They’re right. We’ve lost our organizations to liars and grifters. It’s time we rely on each other—like Patriots built this Country, one by one. And I promise you this, I’m getting your donations to where they need to go.

To my fellow North Carolinians in the mountains: you are NOT forgotten.

This is a wake-up call for all of us. Start stocking up water and food. Make sure you’re ready for when, not if, disaster strikes. And if you can, send your donated goods with a friend and make sure the trucks are fully loaded—our first responders are stretched thin.

Y’all, we can’t wait on elected officials. Special shoutout to FL Governor DeSantis for doing more for us than our own NC Governor. And to the Baptists out of Boone and Samaritan’s Purse—I trust y’all to do right by our people.

Do what you can. Pray, donate, spread the word. And to those who’ve already helped—*thank you* from the bottom of my heart.
We’re in this together. God bless. 🙏
