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 Any textual data included in the document The tragedy of Helene was far beyond concept for all but to wait and watch helpless through the night, only to discover that where our family is from on our mother's side the world has exploded, the mountain has came down on both sides of echo lake and number nine taking 13 members of our family in one fell swoop...devastated we still have to wait to know if our uncle, aunt, cousin and his wife are included in the number because they lived in the middle across from chestnut hill baptist church... Thankfully they survived yet it still took my aunt's parents and 11 members of the Craig family. To try and imagine the horror of that happening is still incomprehensible then to see the aftermath it's still horrible. To know what for all your life you considered normal - normal will never be the same......ever. Yet through the tragedy we are grateful to still have our uncle, aunt, cousin and his wife. We were also blessed that the rest of our immediate family only suffered inconveniences of no power, water, etc but everyone came together and we slowly got back to a small type of normal. I am 60 years old and never want to experience anything like this again.

I wanted to chronicle that period in my own life and in the lives of local citizens in that Fall 2024. I compiled the notepad entries into this poem in Spring 2025.

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.

Just pick up to 24 screenshots from your phone that represent your Helene experience, and email them to friendsbcsc@gmail.com. Be sure that files are named sequentially, so that the screenshots appear in the order you want. <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SV7Z2-yw_QZIwm29fCDz-nqXcjlLJLSh/view">This video explains how.</a> (Thank you to volunteers Jed and Lindsay for making the tutorial!)

The day is bright and breezy, so you pretend You didn’t see the mountains fall and fill; You didn’t hear shouts and screams. Your thoughts crest and subside, leaving lines, Memento mori, mud-choked people crossing signs. Sputtering candle light, taste of bitter spirits- too much, And not enough, not enough. Your footsteps feel atonement in the night, Stars over Foundy, cold streetlamps, northern lights. Someone breaking bottles on the tracks Cries out a gale of pitiful laughing, weeping. Dawn is the last thing of all to break, but break it does. It smells of death and clings to everything that was. All the color washed away. All has gone to gray. Another day, another day.

What started as a storage building overflowing with unsorted donations became Phil’s Boutique, a place of respite and dignity where every item was carefully chosen, folded, and arranged with love. Volunteers laughed, cried, and prayed with those who walked through the doors, witnessing firsthand the small miracles that Jackie believed in—finding just the right item, at just the right time, for those in desperate need. Her unwavering generosity, faith, and dedication to helping others are why we are honored to recognize her as one of our Hurricane Heroes. Jackie’s story is proof that a small business can become a beacon of hope, and that true strength is found in compassion.

But Abby didn’t falter. She led with strength, grace, and compassion, becoming a beacon of hope for her community in crisis. Under her leadership, Hot Springs organized relief efforts, secured aid, restored services, and found a way forward together—even when the path was uncertain.

As the owner of Zuma Café, Joel has always been the heart of his town—a place where people come together for coffee, food, and camaraderie. When the storm damaged his café, Joel quickly adapted, setting up a food truck with outdoor seating to offer hot drinks, meals, and the warmth of Zuma’s hospitality. His determination to re-open the original Zuma Café in the spring will once again provide a much-needed gathering space for his neighbors. Joel's resilience and dedication to his community make him a true Hurricane Hero. We are proud to honor him as part of our Appalachian Phoenix production, which celebrates the strength and spirit of Western North Carolina in the wake of Hurricane Helene.
