From Andy’s Facebook post:

I'm sure most of you aware of the devastation that Hurricane Helene caused in Western North Carolina. People lost homes, businesses, possessions, even their lives. Cities and towns completely washed away….This knife will be raffled off with all benefits going to WNC. All money raised will go directly to those in need. Chances will be 1 for $10; or 12 for $100. PayPal(F&F), check, or money order. Please pm for details on payments. My daughter will do the digital name drawing on Nov 16th. Thanks for yalls help.

Thanks for posting Kim!

As a resident of WNC and living right next to an area that was destroyed (Chimney Rock) this is VERY much appreciated.
I hope the money does go to the right places.
Individuals or families instead of just a big organization or whatever.
Many thanks for you doing this.

Last bump - Two days before drawing, so don’t miss out on an opportunity to help the residents of NC that lost everything.

Once again,, many thanks for helping those here.

Sadly,, many people THINK "it's over" & they can come visit & all. Many roads are still closed AND will be for many more months. Internet is still out in downtown Lake Lure from one provider & spotty with a couple of others. Smaller, mobile cell towers are still necessary. And power is still not restored to about 5% of places,, too remote to easily reach due to the roads.
Our lake is still very turbid,, with debris still needing removal.
Almost all if not all trout fishing in WNC is a "no-go" for 2025.
Seven weeks now & we still have MONTHS to go for some stuff, & YEARS for other stuff. .
