“I need to hug my friends” Daphne woman heading home to Asheville with storm relief
SUMMARY: Noel Schulman, originally from Asheville, North Carolina, is deeply affected by the recent hurricane devastation in Daphne, which is about 600 miles away. The mountainous Asheville area has typically provided protection from storms, leaving residents unconcerned about such disasters. However, Schulman’s worry intensified as she learned of a friend’s near-fatal landslide experience during the storm. Committed to helping, she plans to return to Asheville with essential supplies in her SUV. Beyond providing aid, she feels a strong need to reconnect with her friends and hometown amid the long road to recovery following the hurricane.
Recovery efforts are in full swing across a handful of states in the path of Hurricane Helene. Two weeks from now, more relief supplies will arrive from Daphne from a woman who says doing nothing is not an option.
