As people work to recover from Hurricane Helene, a non-profit is helping those people get back on their feet in what might be a small way for some, but a big help for others.
Two of those people are Joe and JoAnne, also known as Joe and Jo.
“It’s all about helping each other,” Jo said.
They had about four feet of water in their home after Helene. They came to F.I.S.H. of SANCAP for help.

The non-profit is a social services organization serving the community for more than 40 years.
Over that time, they’ve seen their fair share of storms.
“Just to kind of see the same smells, the sights and the sounds brought back a lot of emotional distress for our residents and to our workforce alike,” said Executive Director Maria Espinoza.
To relieve stress from Helene, they are giving in many ways. After Helene, Espinoza said they started assessing the community’s needs.
