All of us I am sure have prayed for the recovery efforts and families affected by the massive destruction that took place in North Carolina due to the hurricane. The North Carolina Southern Baptist Mens relief Association has sent multiple crews in th ehardest hit areas to help in the recovery, rebuild and repair efforts. they have brought portable kitchens and truckloads of water, food and other much needed supplies.

If you wish to help, they are asking for people to purchase Walmart and Food Lion gift cards so people can get the personal needs cared for and more than subsistence food. If you would like to help (and 100% of all cards go to the families in need) pleas send all cards to :

River of Life Baptist church
8411 Ocean Highway W, Sunset Beach, NC 28468

Designate the cards for hurricane recovery relief so they do not get mixed up with our churches local relief for the poor. thank you all for your prayers and any and all help you can do.

I just saw a video where Kamala Harris said they are only giving $750 to hurricane victims...she said apply online if you have electric. Whereas 2 Billion was allocated for illegal migrants shelter and housing.

Thankfully Trump and Franklin Graham took some truckloads of supplies down early in the week. And Musk is helping with Star Link for communications.

Trump has set up a GoFundMe page for the hurricane victims. The last part of this video told about it.

Praying for the folks in the Western part of our state, which includes the brother of one of my friends.

And going beyond prayers into actions, my church is collecting food and other donations this weekend.

Purchasing “Walmart” gift cards…sounds noble….for a person on the up and up…

A couple of considerations…
1) Is there even Walmarts with supplies in the area so devastated ?
2) fraud dealing with Walmarts gift cards being hacked and the money diverted to criminals, making the cards worthless to the recipients.

Even trying to give to charities has become a racket for crimes…. Sad and Deplorable..

Glory to God,

Trump has set up a GoFundMe page for the hurricane victims.

Just found out only low income, people already on assistance, are getting the $750.
And that is per household!!!

Harris Walz supporters tried to say Trump was keeping 97% of the money...that's false!!!

From Reuters fact check...see end of article:

"All proceeds, minus a nearly 3% transaction fee per donation, from the Trump-authorized GoFundMe campaign will be distributed to organizations that are supporting those impacted by Hurricane Helene, according to the fundraising platform.
