Friends, family, acquaintances, pals, buds, coworkers, colleagues, and past flings (the last one was a joke), I have a request for all of you.
My brother in law, Jamie Rose, lives in Newland, NC. As you all are aware, western NC and other places have been absolutely devastated by hurricane Helene. Jamie and his family are alive and well, but they are also struggling like many others in the area. He does home construction and remodeling work for his day job and as you can probably imagine, most of not all contracts have been suspended or canceled. He is helping his neighbors with the skills he has and helping clean up and make repairs after this disaster in his community.
Jamie is much like me and I’m sure some of you feel the same way. He has never asked me for money or help because he doesn’t not want to be a burden (even though I NEVER see it that way). Family helps each other, that’s what they’re there for. And sometimes we need to reach out and ask for help from others. I’m glad he’s not on social media because I am going to make the request for him. I know folks are strained, hurting, stressed..but if you can give anything to help my brother in law, my family, it would be greatly appreciated. Even 5 bucks would go a long way to just show that he’s not in this alone.
I will post his Venmo and that way help can be sent directly to him. Jamie is a good man. He works hard for what he has, he has raised his kids pretty much singlehanded and would give you the shirt off his back. I respect the hell out of this man. If you don’t have the finances to contribute, maybe leave some comments to help encourage Jamie in these trying times. I’ll be sure to pass them along.
Thanks so much for reading, and may you be blessed tenfold for blessing him. Be well, everyone, and treat one another well. We all have our battles and (positive) reinforcements are needed from time to time.
Much love and peace to you and yours
Jaime’s Venmo:
-Rose-80
