EP 112 | Asheville is Not OK

Hello from the heart of the apocalypse.

I am ok. I am safe and well with my partner Ian in Asheville.

We are the lucky ones. I am so grateful. So many are suffering. Struggling. Many are lost. Missing. Hundreds are dead.

Much of Appalachia is irreversibly decimated. Water is off throughout the city for the foreseeable future, so we've been without running water for over a week now. (We are on a boil advisory when it finally comes back on. They say it could be 4-6 weeks or longer.)

Asheville is not ok. Appalachia and Western North Carolina are not ok. It is worse than you think. It is unspeakable. It is not over. This is just the beginning.

We are asking anyone who has a prayer you want to send with us for our beloved Appalachia to please send it to me via email at hello@sinclairfleetwood.com. We are making prayer ties to take to our upcoming gathering to put in the sacred fire.

Anything you want to say thank you for, to release, to pray for, anyone who needs to send a message to the Great Mystery, please let us know.

If you want to help in the short term, donate to my Venmo ​@sinclairfleetwood​, last 4 digits 5205

There are many great orgs in AVL you can donate to, AND giving money directly to people who live here is awesome. If you know an Appalachian, and have the means, send them some dough. Any amount helps.

Love, ​Sinclair
