OPENING OUR HEARTS IN A COLLECTIVE ACT OF LOVE

Supporting hurricane relief efforts in Asheville, North Carolina

Dear Friends,

Please watch the video below!

We had our virtual fundraiser last night for Beloved Asheville, a non-profit organization providing hurricane relief to people in Asheville, North Carolina. People there are dealing with some serious hardships in the aftermath of September’s Hurricane Helene, and I’m delighted that we've raised over $5,000 for them so far.

During the storm, 230 lives were lost and over 126,000 homes were destroyed. The estimated damage is over $53 billion to recover what was lost. Many families were left without housing and/or jobs as many of the restaurants and businesses will not be reopening.

Here is the replay of last night’s event, to give you an idea of the love that was given and received. I know you’ll be as moved as I was by the stories that were shared.  It would be amazing if we could double the amount already raised, on their GoFundMe page here. 

Thank you so much for joining in. Whether you can give $5 or $50, it’s things like this that really do make a difference.

Love,

Marianne
