Get your Kleenex ready 🥲 Fundraiser # 2
Here at Sparkle in Style Boutique we believe in giving back. 🙌 For the next week or so we are going to be supporting a fellow retailer and her family in the aftermath of losing her brother in the Helene Hurricane flooding.
We all know that hurricane Helene has caused vast devastation across the southeast particularly in the state of North Carolina. There was no way to be prepared for the devastation that occurred.
My friend Laura's brother, Boone, was brave enough to face the raging Nolichukey River with his dog Moss and girlfriend to attempt to rescue an individual stuck on Bird Bridge who's home had been washed away by the torrential flooding.
Unfortunately even as an experienced boater Boone could not have prepared for the debris and influx of water which caused the boats motor to jam and without power it struck a bridge support and capsized. Only Boone's girlfriend survived.
Laura spent days looking for Moss and Boone in the flooding aftermath to recover their bodies and bring them to rest. And she has continued to lead efforts to support those who have lost everything.
She has opened her home to those needing a place to stay, to shower, wash clothes, provide food and electricity. Laura is a single mom of five children but continues to travel back and forth to support those in need.
Her businesses are her sole source of income for her family and we want to take this opportunity to lift her and help as we can. ⤵️
