In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, which left many North Carolinians without homes, the Amish community from Pennsylvania has mobilized to bring immediate assistance. While delayed and scant federal aid from the Biden-Harris regime has left these Americans suffering, Amish volunteers have taken it upon themselves to provide essential shelter for families left homeless by the devastating floodwaters.
Arriving weekly by bus in groups of 57, the Amish volunteers work tirelessly from Monday through Friday, building small cabins for families in Swannanoa, North Carolina. At the end of each week, the group returns home, making way for a fresh team to take over. This continuous effort has been a lifeline for locals, many of whom feel abandoned by the slow federal response.
Thank you to the Amish community for stepping up to help the disaster relief recovery efforts in western North Carolina. The temps are below freezing at night so shelters and generators, propane tanks and propane and warm weather gear are greatly needed right now. Thank you.… https://t.co/YvlGcIdaqs

God bless the Amish.

The Amish have set up camp in the area, living in tents and relying on donations and the land for food. Bringing their own supplies, they have asked only for space to work independently, without interference. Their project, called “Cabins for Christ,” is intended to provide temporary but sturdy housing for those who lost everything in the flood.
For many residents, the Amish presence is a testament to true American values. Several locals have expressed deep appreciation, noting that the Amish have done more to help the community than any government agency. In the face of such hardship, the Amish’s dedication to serving others has inspired hope and gratitude among those they are helping.

The Amish volunteers, driven by their faith, seek no reward for their efforts. They consider it their duty to help their fellow Americans in need, a sentiment that has resonated strongly in Swannanoa. Their contribution is seen as a reflection of their values of humility, self-reliance, and compassion.
As the project continues, Swannanoa residents are increasingly grateful for the Amish volunteers. Their kindness and commitment to rebuilding lives have brought hope to the region, proving that in times of crisis, communities can come together to make a difference.
Would this in anyway determine the outcome of the upcoming election 🤔 😉 ?
