Help Biltmore Lamp & Shade Gallery Recover After Hurricane

Donation protected
Help The Biltmore Lamp and Shade Gallery recover after the devastation of Hurricane Helene.

Inspired by his mother, Paul Shumbera opened the Biltmore Lamp and Shade Gallery in 1999. It is beloved by locals and travelers alike. He has run this small business dutifully with the help of his two workers Nate and Ruby.

During the devastation of hurricane Helene, Biltmore Lamp and Shade Gallery received over 3 ft of water and mud. Funds will go towards renting extra storage facilities for keeping their undamaged merchandise safe, disposing the damaged items, paying the employees to help them during these trying times, and many other business expenses incurred from the flood. Anything helps to keep this small business afloat!

My husband is Paul's nephew, we are helping him create this GoFundMe since he is unable to get reliable Internet and cell service. Paul wants everyone to know how thankful he is for all of the messages he's gotten from his customers, friends, and family!
