So I won’t give a hoot that you and I argue politics (childishly admittedly on both sides at times). If you know a family or small business or anyone that can DIRECTLY benefit from some cash, please point me to a gofundme or similar. Our silly discourse shouldn’t stop someone from getting some help (understanding that conditions are so rough right now they probably can’t even spend the cash at this moment). then we can get back to trading stupid jabs if that’s how we decide to go. You're stupid and smell bad. Is there a particular direction you'd like to aim with assistance? There are a ton of groups. I'm sure non religious - otherwise Samaritan's purse is good. If you want pets/livestock/animals, high risk elderly, food pantries (most are religious), childcare/assistance, etc... I can find the right one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re stupider and smell worse. honestly, you know best. I would even just Venmo you if that’s agreeable. And don’t get me wrong, I’m not religious but I’m not against a (trusted) org that happens to lean that way. Edit: and I’d argue that something like this should go on the main TBD page. Hell, we donate thousands to random charities every time a bills player concusses an opponent, you’d think we could all come together to help some folks who need it immediately. But I digress.

Let me ask some folks I know who's making a difference and who needs help. If you're bored go find Greg Biffle on social media. Former NASCAR driver and helicopter pilot working with groups to go in immediately and help. It's amazing video. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have missed it earlier but it's annoying as ***** because I co chair a fundraiser that happens the first Saturday of every October. We already have solid $$$ input as of last week and expect a good turnout. But we can't celebrate the event, we had to change tons of messaging and signage. And we have to compete for people wanting to help wnc. We have shifted 45° to get what we are doing to help WNC. It's because of this event I haven't gone up there myself. I've been asked by 2 groups and have opportunities with two more. 1 minute ago, stevestojan said: Honestly, I’m only talking like $500.

I can find the right spot. My wife's office manager owns 3 vet hospitals up there with his wife and has been coming down here to ferry goods up there. Between him and people we know taking stuff and buying directly we know a lot of helpers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friend of ours who owns a tattoo shop is a direct person. Diamond Thieves of Asheville. He is posting receipts, supplies, people picking them up, etc. I can get you his venmo. 1 minute ago, boyst said: Friend of ours who owns a tattoo shop is a direct person.

Also, a local brewery, goose and monkey in Lexington NC is helping organize supplies to send up. You can view them on Facebook. They're working with people I directly know, a farmer and vineyard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
