Society moves pretty fast these days. If you miss some information one day, it is old news tomorrow. For example, the folks out east that experienced Hurricane Helene were all of the news a few weeks ago. Nowadays though, not many people are talking about the recovery efforts that those folks are still facing. It seems like we, as a society, have moved on to other stories that are more current and quickly forgot about people that will be recovering for a long time. I purposely waited for this post because I wanted to try to bring hurricane victims back to the forefront of your mind. They still need help and we can still help them.
After seeing the devastation that some people experienced, I knew I wanted to donate but I wasn't sure where...until I saw a video on TikTok. I've seen a lot of videos from a guy named Justin "Danger" Nunley, but this one in particular caught my attention. Typically, Justin can be seen pushing some of his shirt designs but on this particular video he was promoting something else. On this occasion, he was promoting some shirts that showed support for folks in North Carolina and Tennessee that had been effected by Hurricane Helene. When I saw that 100% of the proceeds were going to be donated, I knew that I had found the donation that I wanted to contribute to. A few days later, my "Come Hell or High Water" shirt in Carolina Blue arrived at my doorstep.
Now don't get me wrong. I know that my donation didn't impact anyone's life in a way that was massive. But if we all work together, we can make a difference in the lives of folks that suffered horrible loses at the hands of a natural disaster. If you don't want to donate through Justin's efforts, I would encourage you to look at other organizations that you would prefer to work with. The bottom line is that there are folks that are going to need a lot of help for a long time. They have already experienced a lot of tragedies, and it would be another tragedy for them to be forgotten.
