Thanks for telling the world about what it's like there, and for helping to hand out supplies.
My girlfriend's elderly Aunt and Uncle live in Swannanoa and are driving across the country here to us in Colorado because of the lack of food and water -- they decided they'd be more of a drain on resources than a help. Fortunately their road and car weren't damaged, so they were able to leave. Not a decision I ever want to have to make.
I was just there in May, and it's unimaginable to me what's happened. I'm glad people are supporting each other as they can though. And shoutout to Firestorm, I spent an enjoyable afternoon there packing up books to send to families in Florida, they're great people :)
My cousin is in Asheville and Peter’s cousin lives in Marshall. Unbelievably, her house was spared, being atop a hill. But she’s probably recovering in Cville with my sister. Thank you for being there, for reporting, for witnessing. I took advantage of the mutual aid link you provided last week. Doesn’t feel like enough.
Do you have recommendations for places where we can order bulk supplies to make first aid kits/necessities? I'd love to start making and distributing kits to people. Thanks for any advice!
i've usually looked for bulk packaged goods on amazon to be honest, but also wound up using a bunch of other first aid sites and such. but almost every time i re-ordered an item it would be through a different vendor. many small cheap items are available in bulk though. I pondered stepping it up and setting up vendor accounts with actual distributors but never got around to it.
