Asheville Bills Backers are helping the victims of Hurricane Helene

ASHEVILLE, NC (WKBW) – Bills Mafia is doing what they do best: raising support for the victims of Hurricane Helene.

Asheville, North Carolina was one of the hardest hit areas and Bills Backers there are coming together to help.

I spoke with Bree Gordon, president of the Asheville Bills Backers. She says this storm was unlike anything she’s ever seen.

“I’ve been through a tornado in Nashville in 2019, the Buffalo Blizzard in 2022 — nothing compares,” Gordon says. “I think I’m still trying to process it all. It’s incredibly difficult to process because with a tornado, or as we know in Buffalo, storms can pick at least one spot. That could be in Orchard Park and not East Amherst. means all of Asheville and surrounding communities will be affected.”

Gordon has set up a GoFundMe for two different causes. She explains how they help people in need.

“When you donate, it goes to BeLoved Asheville by default,” Gordon says. “They have their boots on the ground morning, noon and night delivering food, diapers (and) hygiene products. Hygiene is such an issue right now. The other way they can donate, through same GoFundMe link, is if they give up for Bills Backers. That money goes to us Bills backers going on our own trips to give things like toys I mentioned or light bulbs (or) gas.
