Feb. 17: The Mission Mule team has successfully reached the flood-stricken communities near Welch, West Virginia. We appreciate local and state authorities escorting the team to the areas in need on otherwise blocked roads. Facing impassable roads that have blocked emergency vehicles, Mike and his team are now preparing the mules to transport essential supplies to isolated residents currently cut off from aid. They have already been delivering food and water with the motorized mule where able.
While Mike and the Mules are delivering supplies in WVA the rest of the Mission Mule team is working to set up a relief station in Hyden, Kentucky. If you are able to donate food, water, gas cans, or any other essential items to this location, it would be much appreciated.
The outpouring of support for our work in Western North Carolina has been truly inspiring. Let’s extend that same compassion as we provide assistance to the communities in Kentucky and West Virginia. We want to show them that they are not alone in their time of need.
Feb. 18: Mission Mules has felt the support West Virginia! We are honored to assist and work alongside West Virginia’s finest! From escorting us through blocked areas to reach points we could pack in from, to going along with us on well-checks, and securing staging areas for the mules….they have been instrumental in helping us work quickly and efficiently.
We also appreciate the staff at Mount View High School staying late to feed the guys a WV hot meal! More work to do tomorrow!! Join us to help us reach as many as possible. You can also give in many ways here.
