With homes destroyed and lives disrupted by Hurricane Helene, the storm that swept through North Carolina two weeks ago, the spirit of resilience is evident as many residents of the state want to help out the hurricane victims.
State and local officials advise not to travel in Western North Carolina due to the risks, but that isn’t stopping Charlotteans from wanting to support recovery efforts from afar.
