Hi Birmingham! My name is Mary Noble Braden for those of you who do not know me. I was raised here in Birmingham and moved to Black Mountain, NC 20 year ago with my husband. I've built my life and family there. I am leaning on my hometown to send loving prayers and/or contributions to Western NC due to the effects of Hurricane Helene. We are planning to take back food, tools, generators, chain saws, gas cans, propane stoves, dog food, etc. Some power is being restored but it will be months before water and sewer is back on. We are putting together a small crew that can help folks in need whether it's setting up a generator to keep their food cool, helping them remove trees from their homes and driveway, or any day to day needs individuals are needing support with. I appreciate your love and support towards restoring the people and town of Black Mountain. Will keep you posted on the continued progress. With love and gratitude, Mary Noble Braden
