            <text>&lt;p&gt;Since the storm, Amy Cantrell, Adrienne Sigmon, and Ponkho Bermejo of &lt;strong&gt;BeLoved Asheville&lt;/strong&gt; have been leading the charge in rebuilding lives and restoring hope across Western North Carolina.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At the height of the storm, their team was helping to share resources with more than 15,000 people a day across the most impacted areas. Now, they’ve shifted toward long-term recovery—focusing on economic stabilization, trauma healing, and more than 30 active home repair and replacement projects.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Through &lt;strong&gt;BeLoved Village&lt;/strong&gt;, they’re providing deeply affordable homes for families who lost everything—creating not just shelter, but spaces of healing and dignity. Through the &lt;strong&gt;La Cocina de Mama&lt;/strong&gt; food truck, they’re serving up meals infused with love, culture, and comfort.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Their leadership has brought neighbors together—whether delivering supplies, building homes, or sparking joy through celebration—and their commitment to justice, equity, and radical care continues to transform lives every day. Amy, Adrienne, and Ponkho, we are proud to honor your vision, resilience, and unwavering compassion.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
