Today GEM Bstrong in partnership with long time Western North Carolina artisan supporters @thehorseshoefarm, launched our Small Business and Artisan Relief Fund. This is a place where the mountains hold magic and the artisans are the soul of these communities. This fund will support hundreds of small businesses, artists, artisans and craftsmen whose livelihoods were washed away from Hurricane Helene. We need to raise a very minimum of 5 M just for this fund considering the hundreds of small businesses that are wiped out. It’s time to slowly shift from phase 1 (band aids) to phase 2 sustainability (cure). Thank you @gmanews. Please go to our bio-link to support. Special thanks to @bethennyfrankel @panthers #davidandnicoletepperfoundation #hurricanehelene

Today marks one year since the tragic October 7th attacks. Since this day, GEM has been supporting civilians caught in the crossfire and fog of war. As humanitarians, our role is simple — we support people in extreme need. Our teams have been relentlessly navigating aid delivery in Gaza, Israel and Lebanon. These active war zones require brave leadership, strategic planning, and the ability to pivot frequently.Here’s how we have carefully responded to this crisis over the past year. https://www.globalempowermentmission.org

@globalempowermentmission is delivering Starlinks via helicopter to isolated mountain towns in North Carolina affected by Hurricane Helene. These communities have been cut off from the outside world for a week. Starlinks are a critical component to establish communication and access to relief. We will continue supporting these towns until North Carolina is reconnected. This mission was powered by #elonmusk @spacex @turkeybeaver @starlinksofficial and @ali4sis #hurricanehelene #starlinks
