I am considering ways in which my 501c3 nonprofit, PALs, can support the relief efforts in my home region of the United States, after catastrophic destruction of the entire southern half of the Appalachian region. Currently, 4 states have been severely impacted. Two of these states have entire areas that are completely inaccessible by land. HALF of North Carolina is shut off due to flooding of roads and highways. The only access is via air. For my German friends, North Carolina is about the size of Germany and the most similar topography to Germany of all US states. Can you imagine 50% of Germany being completely flooded??? The devastation to this region is indescribable. The rescue, recovery, and rebuilding of these towns and villages will take time, as anyone from the Ahrtal region of Germany fully understands. Over the past five years, I supported the Ahrtal flood victims, coordinating deliveries of clothes, food, blankets, and generators. I supported women and children fleeing Ukraine, helping bring more than 2000 people to safety and sending more than $50,000 worth of donations into Ukraine. Now, I think it is time for me to focus my volunteer efforts to the place where I grew up...giving back to the people and communities that shaped who I am today. I need a few weeks to brainstorm, but I feel called and you guys know what that means for me. If you want to help, let me know. Unpaid hard workers are welcome. Open hearts and minds are required. Doing difficult, yet extraordinary tasks are expected. Reach out if you feel called to action.
