Support Asheville's Animals in Need After Helene

Hurricane Helene, a category 4 hurricane, made landfall on September 26th. Helene caused flooding and catastrophic damage from Florida to the Carolinas. Western North Carolina received record breaking flooding and wind speeds, completely destroying homes and interstates/roads within and surrounding Asheville and West North Carolina.

Asheville Humane Society is overfilled with animals and are in need of fosters and any donations possible. As veterinary professionals, our job is to be an advocate for animals who need help. If you are unable to help Asheville in person, please help by donating so that this organization can help as many animals possible. This GoFundMe is to help with the Asheville Humane Society and to help with funds needed after the severe influx of animals from the storm.

Personal introduction: My name is Paige Edwards, I am a veterinary assistant at NVS. I grew up in Florida with multiple hurricanes a year. I also grew up with frequent family trips and recently solo trips to Asheville and hold a love for the Blue Ridge Mountains. Since I am familiar with the damage that a Category 3-4 hurricane can cause, I knew I needed to do something to help. If you have ever visited the Blue Ridge Mountains and the unique city of Asheville then you also know the beauty that it holds and I ask you to please help any way you can.
