Rebuild & Recover: Helping Family & Neighbors in Erwin TN

My name is Ashley ‘SonikBuster’ Watts, MANY of you have asked me and my family for where, and how to support us in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene in Erwin, Tennessee.

Now I’m going to be honest with you. My friends and family down the river are beautiful and stubborn as all get out, so I didn’t know if they would accept the help or not. However, upon explaining go-fund-me to them they’re thankful for everyone’s kindness and generosity in the midst of our hardship!

This will assist us greatly as we navigate the chaos, destruction, and rapidly changing circumstances in the mountains of Erwin along the Nolichucky River.

I aim to be a support to my friends and family in their time of need as they rebuild their lives in the wake of Hurricane Helene.

At this time we have no way of knowing what the full extent of the damages and expenses are going to be. We will provide further details as more information comes available in the future.

Help me to support my family, and our friends and neighbors!

Note: I personally live in Forest Virginia. I am created this Go-Fund-Me in order to support my family, friends, and neighbors impacted along the Nolichucky River in Erwin, TN in the wake of Hurricane Helene.

All proceeds will go 100% towards the local recovery efforts in one way or another.
