BARNARDSVILLE, N.C. (WGHP) -- In the small town of Barnardsville, just an hour outside of Asheville, many people have been left without homes in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. Roads have been left broken. Deep in the mountains, for many, there is only one road leading from their home to town. Directly after Hurricane Helene hit western North Carolina, one woman found herself in a difficult situation. “The 911 was going down the road, so we flagged them down, and then we took him down to the bottom of Stony Fork. They tried to get an ambulance. The ambulance could not run at that time, and knowing the child needed help, they gave him my asthma treatment ... By that evening, he was belly breathing and neck breathing," Barnardsville resident Wanda Hensley said. It was the community sacrifices of people getting on their ATVs and riding around that saved the child’s life. This part of the state is extremely difficult to access right now because of broken roads, however, on Friday, the Army National Guard came to Barnardsville and dropped off supplies at the Big Ivy Community Center. Community members are then traveling by ATV to take supplies to isolated people in the Stoney Fork area. The entire Huskins family lives on this small mountain with about eight homes over a half mile. Horrific floods ripped apart homes, moving them off foundations. A space that felt like more than just a home for Patricia Huskins' sister was a place that reminded her of her husband’s love. “He basically built the house for her, and he passed away a couple of years ago, and it’s just really hard,” Huskins said. Her sister was able to salvage some of her belongings but it’s the memory of her husband's love that has been washed away. Organizations like the Salvation Army are working with families like the Huskins to help them rebuild. Gunner Ball and his family lost everything in a mudslide that came down the mountain. They had two minutes to get out before the mudslide came down the mountain. On Friday, while Gunner was out on his ATV taking supplies to families isolated deep in the mountain, The Salvation Army surprised him. “New everything. I’m thankful for it ... because that’s mainly what I’ve been wanting is a new hat, and I finally got one,” Ball said. Director of Store Operations for the Salvation Army in Greensboro Kenneth Brown was instantly drawn to Ball and his story. “Everything you have is gone, and yet you’re willing to stay out here and help your friends and family,” Brown said. Despite Ball having nothing, he has put others first. The Salvation Army has also provided ATB batteries, warm meals and emotional support to disaster victims.
