These two precious ladies have a remarkable story of resilience. Jackie (74) and Cynthia (75), often referred to as the &quot;Mattress Sisters,&quot; have an astounding &quot;storm story&quot;. They miraculously survived Hurricane Helene after being swept away on a mattress on a river in Fairview, NC. Their house was involved in a mudslide. They lived downstream from a logging company, which pelted their home with logs, which caused it to collapse around them. While trapped under a large pile of debris on the river, Jackie felt the presence of God wash over her and fill her with peace as He assured her that they were going to be OK and that he would rescue them. The rushing waters swept them and their small dog approximately four miles down Garren and Flat Creeks. They survived for two days before volunteers found them in the rubble and were taken to the hospital and treated for minor injuries and dehydration.2 years later, after being promised a home by others, they are still living in a shed that was donated to them early on. They are discouraged, but have not lost hope.<div fr-original-style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; line-height: 1.5; box-sizing: inherit;"> </div>We have been standing by their side and assisting where needed, as they make decisions for their future. After almost 20 months of disappointment and broken promises, they have had time to reevaluate and would feel most secure relocating to a new home in an area that was not affected by the Hurricane. Their land and the river hold a lot of trauma for them, and what they need now is safety and security. With the help of a local realtor, we have found them a precious home in Buncombe County that is closer to community support, doctor&#39;s visits, and loved ones. They have had to delay much-needed surgeries that will help with chronic pain and mobility issues because of the uncertainty of housing.<div fr-original-style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; line-height: 1.5; box-sizing: inherit;"> </div>Today, we have an opportunity to do more than provide temporary relief;&nbsp;we can help give them a permanent place to call home.
