Scotty McCreery, a native of North Carolina, is using his platform to assist his home state in recovering from the catastrophic storm and rebuilding.
Being a native of North Carolina, Scotty McCreery is astounded by the destruction Hurricane Helene left in her wake. The popular country music artist is now using his platform to aid in the reconstruction and recovery of his home state following the catastrophic storm.
Born in Garner, North Carolina, the singer of “Wine in a Solo Cup” took to social media to post a statement that he and his spouse, Gabi McCreery, wrote.
“Finding the worlds is difficult, but Gabi and I are deeply saddened by the destruction left behind by Hurricane Helene,” McCreery posted on Instagram. Numerous individuals, including our close friends and neighbors, have been impacted by this storm. A lot of you seem to be asking questions here about how to assist those in need in Georgia, Florida, Southwestern Virginia, East Tennessee, and Western North Carolina.
McCreery also made a request for anyone with the means to donate money. McCreery wrote, “These are 3 organizations that we love and have personally donated to if you are able to help financially.” “They are helping these devastated communities in an amazing way.” McCreery suggested Baptists On Mission, Samaritan’s Purse, and Greater Good Music (here are a few more ways to help).
“Gabi and I got married and got engaged here in these mountains. I wrote my last album in these mountains,” the former American Idol contestant wrote. Our current home, Avery County, inspired us to name our first son after it. These mountains are unique because of the people who live there, and they need our assistance even though the views are breathtaking. We appreciate your support, whether it be through one of these three organizations, another, a supply donation, or even just your prayers.
At least 200 people had lost their lives directly as a result of the storm as of Wednesday afternoon. Due to storm damage and flood debris, hundreds of roads remain impassable, cutting off communities from assistance. As a result, people and mules have stepped in to help transport essential supplies to the affected areas.
