Help Johnathon Grubb (JP) Rebuild After Hurricane Helene

Johnathon Grubb (JP), is a dedicated small business owner in Western North Carolina. This skilled custom carpenter lost nearly everything in the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Helene. While preparing to build a home on his land, he stored all of his personal belongings and tools in a storage unit—only for the storm to destroy it all. Though he’s been focused on helping others in the Asheville area recover, he now faces the overwhelming task of rebuilding his life and business without the tools and possessions he relied on.

Please consider donating to support this hardworking and resilient member of our community as he begins the long road to recovery. Below, you can read about the harrowing ordeal he endured during the devastation that struck his area and many others nearby.

"The hovering of helicopters and screams of sirens begins to fade as we are starting to take stock of what has happened. Their noise was so constant and comforting during the flood that help was on its way. This storm literally blew us away as Western North Carolina floated down a river. It worsens everyday in the aftermath. Everyone I can remember to contact is thankfully safe, but I know many are not that lucky. We have been digging and cutting out, delivering supplies, and trying to stay positive.

I lost most of my life. While rebuilding my home I have had a storage unit that held almost everything I owned. It also held most of the tools I use to run my carpentry business. Right now I'm trying desperately to use the few tools I had in my work vehicle to help anyone I can reach. Commutation has been slow and difficult to coordinate substantial help and I find myself mainly gathering and delivering supplies."
