Trip to Spruce Pines and other areas

The other day we went back to Spruce Pine and Burnsville. In Spruce Pine we noticed that things had changed. We spoke to the young lady the that we had spoken to two days before. She told us that FEMA had moved in and is changing everything. They have concentrated all supplies to a separate area from the shelter. They now have to go through them to get anything. If you want anything you have to fill out paperwork and why you need what you need. They took everything the people have sent to those hurting. We did NOT leave our stuff there, instead we found a remote area that has not been helped and delivered there. No one had reached these folks yet. Please pray as we continue to send supplies. There are many areas that have NOT been reached yet. People are begging for help. These are just a few pictures of what has happened to these folks, many still stranded. Roads are washed away, bridges to places are washed away. This will be a long time recovery. I speak for myself, I’ll be in for the long hall and I am praying many others will be. So many times the first few weeks there are thousands who come to help then when the news quits speaking they quit coming. I went to one disaster a year later and people were still needing help. Many are forgotten. I ask that you also pray for those still stuck in other areas. I have a friend stuck in Boone. He’s ok but can’t go anywhere. Please pray folks. Please DON’T let the media fool you.
