Title A name given to the resource The Mutual Aid Wellness Collective: A Case Study of Post-Disaster Mutual Aid Health Work in Western North Carolina Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource July 18, 2025 Description An account of the resource This case study explores the emergence of a grassroots healthcare collective formed during a catastrophic flood and seeks to continue services to address the ongoing disaster of inaccessible healthcare. While many healthcare providers understand the limitations of their institutions, the energy and common ground of west Asheville’s emergency response to Hurricane Helene next to the failure of regionwide healthcare response catalyzed efforts to sustain the collective. With a background on healthcare in the United States, examples of community-based healthcare models in the U.S., and reflections with core members, volunteer providers, and partner organizations, the Mutual Aid Wellness Collective illustrates a healthcare strategy that improves access, especially during disasters. By considering how healthcare providers mobilized during a crisis, adapted service delivery to meet local needs, and the struggle to sustain momentum, mutual aid presents a framework for equitable healthcare access for the dual disasters of climatic events and growing poverty in the United States.

Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading. Examples include books, letters, dissertations, poems, newspapers, articles, archives of mailing lists. Note that facsimiles or images of texts are still of the genre Text. Text Any textual data included in the document There are flowers in the mud. Everything has changed and it will never go back the way it was. Nearly everyone I know has a Gofundme. Nearly everyone I know doesn’t know what day it is. Nearly everyone I know is helping one another in every imaginable way, even in the face of their own immeasurable losses. In one day, my thoughts had moved from sourcing vintage sweaters and coats to Tyvek suits, respirator masks, and rubber boots. I brought in 50 freshly sourced pieces to our vintage booth on Wednesday. Customers shopped and vendors stocked their booths in preparation for the Atomic 10 Year Anniversary Party that was set to happen the following week. By Friday the entire building was under 20 feet of water. My car battery died, I go to Advance Auto Parts. The man replacing it tells us that half of his home in Swannanoa was washed away in a mudslide while he was still inside. He was watching TV, turned, and it was all gone. He says shortly after the fire department knocked on his door. There was a National Guard truck waiting outside to take him away before the water did. His elderly neighbors’ bodies were recovered at the stop light down the road. He used to mow their lawns. We go a week with very limited contact to the outside world, we find out what is happening to our neighbors by listening to the radio - 99.9 Kiss Country. They are broadcasting 24/7. All cell service is down. Someone remarks that our cell phones have been reduced to very expensive flashlights. We are glued to our Radio Shack portable radio. People call in begging to be rescued. People call in asking for food and water, ice for their insulin, formula for their babies. Often their prayers are answered within hours, neighbors are on standby ready to help at any cost. Queer anarchists work shoulder to shoulder with Republicans. The world seems so much smaller, and our differences do too. It was never more apparent that society would crumble without the working class. I stand in line for free food outside a fine dining vegan restaurant called Plant. The employees dolling out the beans and veggies giggle and joke with one another. I feel fed by more than just the food. On the day of the disaster, the skies darkened and the wind and rain came, beating Western North Carolina with enough water to sustain 619 days of Niagara Falls’ unrelenting force. In a matter of hours, the world I have called home for the last 11 years was swept down the Swannanoa and French Broad Rivers. These ancient rivers, which flowed through this area before dinosaurs walked the earth, swelled nearly 30 feet in a matter of hours, devouring all that stood in their wake. Homes and highways were reduced to rubble, with some being so cleanly wiped from existence you would never have known anything stood in their spot. What did remain when the floodwater receded is caked in inches of thick toxic mud. The sludge contained unknown chemicals, gasoline, fertilizer, and sewage - its smell fills our towns. I stand in the ruins of what used to be our booth at the vintage store where we vend. The roof is falling in, the walls have been swept away. They spent hours the day before looking for a body they believed had washed into the back of the building, luckily they found no one. One of our collapsed racks is sitting in a foot of mud. Our clothes, pieces we spent months sourcing, mending, and cleaning, still clinging to their hangers. We spend an hour trying to decipher what to do. We end up taking a heavy trash bag full of our most prized pieces, surely we could wash them, surely we didn’t lose everything. But they are filled with toxins and poisons and the mold has already begun to set in. The plastic bag sits in our driveway for days until the first trash collection since the storm hauls our hope away. While I stand in the biohazardous building that once housed so many of our hopes and dreams, I worry about getting content compelling enough to persuade people to donate to our Gofundme. I worry about the outside world forgetting about us. I worry about asking for help on Instagram. I worry about the people in the hollers, whose only way in and out has been reduced to impassable rubble and washed out bridges. I worry about when we will all have clean water coming from our pipes again, I think of Flint, Michigan - still fighting for drinkable water 10 years later. I worry about what my future, and the future of Western North Carolina will look like in the coming weeks. Normality feels like a lifetime away. “Hey, how are you doing” is suddenly more than a formality. I look strangers in the eyes and feel our souls meeting. Within minutes of introducing yourself to someone, it’s not unusual to be hugging and crying. Most conversations revolve around the flood. “How did you fare? Did you lose your house? I’m so sorry. Here’s where to get clean water, food, or supplies. I’m glad you’re alive.” Two weeks after the disaster we find ourselves in Marshall, NC on a private buy. Downtown Marshall is one of the hardest hit towns in the area, over a hundred years of history washed down the river. Its our first private buy since the flood, and the last place I would have expected it to be. We are on the outskirts of town picking in a large building that was previously used as a hay barn and is now being used as storage for the family. As I’m sorting through racks I come across a 1980s sweatshirt for the French Broad Electric Membership Corporation - a co-op that was formed in 1939 to help provide electricity to rural areas of Madison County. The founding of the co-op was a direct reaction from the community after the Great Depression resulted in private electric companies neglecting rural areas. The linemen currently employed by the co-op had been working day and night to repair all 42,000 meters of line that was taken out by the storm - their entire system. They worked 18 hour days, all the while carrying the weight of their own losses from the storm. Wednesday September 25th was the last day of the life I once knew. I would not yet know the overwhelming grief, a grief so deep I felt it carving a hole in my stomach. Walking a mile down Swannanoa River Road and witnessing overturned semi trucks, helicopters wizzing overhead to rescue those stranded higher up on the mountain, antique warehouses mangled and turned to piles of debris, recovery teams with cadaver dogs searching for the dead, plastic bags and fabric waving as it hung from the branches of the few trees still standing on the riverside road, once peacefully lined with a lush array of vegetation. I would not yet know the overwhelming radical love that radiates from our small mountain towns, expanding great distances that reach beyond our wildest dreams. The resilience, power, and strength that our community brings as offerings to one another, with all barriers broken down, we see one another for who we truly are - and we all need each other more than we could have ever known. I can see the threads of grief weaving a web of hope. And somewhere there are still flowers.

First their trunks reach out to my view, before the eye catches the wider, thicker base, the rich dirt round the roots meant to hold tight, even the sicker trees. What about the deer? One asked with head bowed, mouth agape, through tears. Now with the wind less loud all could–who would–wonder and ask what about the consuming looming work, a truly unimaginable task now? Uprooted and fallen, these trees remind us of humans: appalling the way they are knocked down, maligned, described as criminals, aliens, animals–all of them– just for changing their residence: Here. Despite such storms of hatred, they try, work and give, though torn, ripped from home, uprooted by devastating storms of violence, poverty, hopelessness there, only to get here and sense loss. Unlike our downed trees, though, these humans stand up off their knees and make new lives sooner than most of us can fathom. Uprooted, yes, but pushing down roots to survive–and fill the chasm deep. We can mourn all life lost forever or only a while. These local trees’ fate we fight, but know the saws make way for men who pile the horizontal trunks–whose reach once caused us to smile– that have left too much–all and each– space. Our new neighbors here, local as we, deserve more space, shouldn’t leave, and for sure should hear that though so many face heightened insults, threats and scorn, mass uprooting won't be easy because most of us don’t want them torn more. Oct 4, 2024 Much more sky stares down and across as ever more trees lie down, where before the loss, now clear, was one private stretch of green, turning orange or red. Now the sounds are wretched: Saws. Why do I stay listening and watching? It’s like a funeral in a way, or maybe just clutching at hope that fewer are sacrificed? But just maybe it’s the sweating men most of whom look mountain white. Fair… …to profile them or anyone? No, loudly I tell me, here, when my prejudice proudly proclaims preference for the non-English speaking, feeling they need more deference. Wrong! The humans cleaning up the fallen and leaning trees deserve no different screening than those whose home she/he/they flees. Though now I hear English only with the sawing, rustling and crashing, other heard accents have shown me them. The them uprooted and the them deeply imbedded need the work, both so suited to such physical strain. Indebted am I to all who here labor and maybe earn dollars plus wood to burn. In this tragedy we all are neighbors. Yes? October 16 All I can give now is my pledge to keep the yes, the ¡sí! as on knees I bow, giving thanks plus my very best promise to cross the emptied space and meet both sides and care for all whether uprooted or afraid their place goes… …to those who came among those here born, those who are defamed so like these clinging–not torn– but deeply afraid of losing their homeland to those uprooted who now are among us by choosing here. Trees by the thousands perished. Immigrants by the millions tremble. Yet grace has found us working through divisions, as civilians and government officials, giving and taking, shedding tears and prayers for the dead, dying, AND living: All.

Text Any textual data included in the document The Flood. After reviewing the efforts of this Department for the fiscal year, I can but praise the endeavors of every member in seeing that the laws have been fairly and impartially enforced. Time after time every member of the force has undergone hardships and trials which would test the nerve and manhood of the hardiest. One of the most trying times in the history of the City of Asheville was the disastrous flood of July 16th, which destroyed so much property and imperilled so many lives. The members of the Police Department were practically on continuous duty during this flood and its aftermath, and rendered invaluable service in the rescue of endangered people and in the protection of property. I do not think that I could praise too highly the spirit of public service and devotion to duty exhibited by the members of the Police Department during this critical time. My commendation of them and their labors is unstinted. I should also like to avail myself of this opportunity to express our appreciation of the assistance rendered us by the motormen and conductors of the Asheville Power and Light Co., who were sworn in as special policemen and who aided us in patrolling the city during the night hours when our street lighting system was dead. It is worthy of note that we were able to pass through this crisis without any serious disorder and with a minimum amount of pillage. This record can only be fully appreciated when consideration is given to the enormous amount of private property that was exposed along the river front.
