While many in North Carolina are still waiting for federal assistance after Hurricane Helene, the Amish community from Pennsylvania has taken matters into their own hands. Hundreds of Amish volunteers have traveled to Swannanoa, North Carolina, to help rebuild homes for residents affected by the historic flooding. Their commitment has been a source of relief for many who have lost everything — including faith in the Biden-Harris regime that has left North Carolina communities in shambles.
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

These Amish volunteers, arriving in organized groups of 57 each week, work from Monday to Friday to build small cabins for displaced families. When one team returns to Pennsylvania, another takes its place, creating a continuous effort that has inspired many locals. They are determined to keep working until they have provided shelter for those in need.
God bless the Amish.
From Friends of Swannanoa:
BLACK MOUNTAIN AREA NEEDS HELP.

The volunteers live in tents at a nearby camp, relying on donations and the land for food. They bring their own materials, operate independently, and ask only to be allowed to do their work. Their project, “Cabins for Christ,” is entirely self-funded and organized, demonstrating a level of self-sufficiency and dedication rarely seen.
Swannanoa residents have expressed deep gratitude for the Amish, noting that their efforts seem to have gone beyond what any government agency has provided. Many locals see the Amish presence as a beacon of hope during a difficult time, with one resident calling it “the most beautiful thing” they’ve witnessed.
The Amish have made it clear that they are not seeking recognition or rewards. Instead, they believe it is their duty to help those in need. Their strong sense of community and faith guides their actions, and they are committed to making a positive impact.

For many in North Carolina, the Amish volunteers have restored faith that there are still people willing to help without any expectation of reward. As they continue to build, their presence brings a much-needed spirit of hope and unity to the region.
Would this in anyway determine the outcome of the upcoming election 🤔 😉 ?
