Help Cathy Gerson and Steve Lee Rebuild After the Storm

Our dear friends, Cathy Gerson and Steve Lee, lost everything when Hurricane Helene devastated Barnardsville, NC. While we are thankful they are safe, and staying with friends in Tennessee, they now face the daunting task of rebuilding their lives from the ground up.

Cathy, a passionate ceramist, spent many years establishing her Parkerville Road pottery studio and business in Southborough. In 2013 Cathy and Steve moved to Barnardsville, NC to join a thriving artist community near Ashville.

Her beautiful work has been featured in hospitals, corporate buildings, homes, and galleries across the country. Tragically, both their home and business were lost in the storm.

For years, Cathy and Steve have been dedicated members of their communities, always stepping up to help others in need. Now, they are the ones who need our help. The outpouring of concern for their safety has been deeply appreciated, and they are incredibly grateful for the support they’ve received so far.

Cathy and Steve are long-time friends for many of us from Southborough. Cathy was a loyal member of our "Game of The Month Club" for two decades until they moved to their new southern homestead. And, many from our small community fondly remember Cathy's Open Studios. Any assistance you can provide, no matter how small, will make a world of difference as they begin to rebuild their lives and business. Thank you for your kindness and generosity during this difficult time. (Patti and I live in Southborough, MA and have been friends with Cathy and Steve for almost 3 decades. Patti is currently the beneficiary until Cathy and Steve are settled and we can transfer the donations.)
