In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, hundreds of Amish volunteers from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, have arrived in Swannanoa, North Carolina, to help rebuild homes for families who lost everything in the devastating floods. While federal assistance has been slow, the Amish community has taken immediate action, providing vital support to those affected as the Biden-Harris regime has seemingly abandoned these suffering Americans.
Organized and determined, these Amish volunteers are working in teams of 57, arriving by bus each week to build small cabins for those in need. The crews work from Monday to Friday, with one group returning to Pennsylvania at week’s end while a fresh team takes their place. They have committed to continuing this cycle until the project is completed.
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

Living in tents at a local camp, the volunteers are fully self-sufficient, bringing their own supplies and living off the land and local donations. Their project, called “Cabins for Christ,” is intended to give families a safe place to live while they recover from the storm. They ask only that people allow them to work independently, with no desire for external help or recognition.
God bless the Amish.

Locals are in awe of the selflessness displayed by these volunteers. In a time when many residents feel abandoned by federal agencies, the Amish presence has provided comfort and support. Swannanoa residents have praised the Amish community for embodying a spirit of compassion and resilience that has lifted their spirits during an incredibly difficult time.
The Amish volunteers are quick to explain that they seek no compensation for their efforts. This gesture is rooted in their faith, and they consider helping others a responsibility. With each new week, the Amish community continues to make a difference for families affected by Hurricane Helene.

As residents witness the Amish rebuilding homes and lives, many have come to see them as a symbol of hope and strength. The project has reminded many that even in the darkest of times, there are those willing to lend a hand without asking for anything in return.
Would this in anyway determine the outcome of the upcoming election 🤔 😉 ?
