Coming Together for Our Neighbors in Pine Flats, TN
In the wake of the recent hurricanes that have devastated parts of TN, NC, and beyond, we have witnessed a beautiful outpouring of community spirit and compassion. Last week, we had the profound privilege of donating one of our trucks to deliver essential supplies—like water, dog food, and other critical items—to those who urgently need them. This heartfelt effort was led by Melissa Adams and Mariah Marley from Justified M2 Solutions, whose unwavering commitment to helping affected families has truly inspired us all.
Our dedicated drivers, Tom Dempsey and Mike Knopp, selflessly volunteered their time to transport these vital supplies. When they arrived in Pine Flats, TN, and began offloading the 53-foot trailer, they were deeply touched by the heartbreaking stories shared by residents directly impacted by this disaster. The overwhelming scale of loss and desperation resonated profoundly with both Tom and Mike, especially Mike, who felt a strong calling to do even more for these families in their time of crisis.
Upon returning home, Mike expressed his desire to continue providing support, highlighting the lasting impact of this experience on him. While we worked tirelessly to deliver tangible aid, we were saddened to learn that FEMA's response has fallen short, offering affected families $750. Although this amount can help families rebuild in the future, it’s essential that FEMA focuses on meeting immediate needs first. As one family member expressed in frustration, "Take your check and get the hell off my property." It’s clear that these families require immediate access to essential supplies and a helping hand right now.
Currently, the most pressing needs identified in the area include coal BBQs, which can be used to warm food and provide heat, as many families are struggling without running water, electricity, or adequate shelter. The situation on the ground is stark, and the need for practical assistance is urgent.
We invite our community to rise together and support our fellow Americans during this challenging time. Your donations of supplies—especially coal BBQs, non-perishable food items, bottled water, and other everyday necessities—can make a significant difference in the lives of those who are suffering.
This is a moment for unity that transcends politics; it’s about humanity and coming together as neighbors to lend a helping hand to those in distress. Let’s show the true spirit of America by extending our support and compassion to those who need it most.
