Shaheen, Ruth, Martin & Fonville Real Estate Hurricane Helene Relief
Hurricane Helene has shattered the lives of thousands, claiming nearly 140 lives and leaving behind unimaginable destruction as it swept through six Southeastern states. Homes are gone, communities are underwater, and families are searching for missing loved ones. As the death toll rises and the damage continues to unfold, we are reminded of how important it is to come together in times of crisis.
The fastest and most effective way to help is by donating money to trusted organizations. While sending supplies may seem helpful, relief groups are better equipped to purchase and distribute necessary items in bulk and directly from the affected areas, supporting both recovery efforts and local economies.
The American Red Cross is working tirelessly to offer shelter, food, and vital resources to those impacted by Hurricane Helene, but they can’t do it alone. They need your help.
Why Our Support Matters
The damage caused by Hurricane Helene is unlike anything many of these communities have ever seen; entire neighborhoods have been wiped out, and historic flooding continues to devastate cities like Asheville in North Carolina. In just 24 hours, more than 3,000 families have reached out to the American Red Cross, desperate for help finding lost loved ones, and 2,400 survivors are currently seeking refuge in shelters.
The survivors—many of whom have lost everything—are facing weeks, months, or even years of recovery. But we believe that we can rebuild hope, homes, and lives when we come together. Every dollar you donate will provide the critical resources needed right now: food, clean water, emergency medical supplies, and safe shelter for those who’ve lost everything.
We Believe in Caring for Our Communities
Our ability to care for others truly shines during the darkest times. The American Red Cross provides comfort and shows the survivors of Hurricane Helene that they are not alone. Your donation symbolizes that care and compassion—a way to stand beside families in their greatest time of need and offer them hope for the future.
We’ve launched a fundraising campaign to collectively make a real difference for the survivors of Hurricane Helene. By coming together, we can provide essential relief like shelter, food, and medical supplies to families affected by this devastating storm. Every donation brings us closer to reaching—and hopefully surpassing—our goal, helping these communities rebuild and recover. Join us in this important effort and be part of something bigger. Together, we can lift these communities and remind them that we care.
