We were very lucky in our house that we escaped with almost no damage to our property and our power came back on within a day. Most of my friends were out of power and internet for over a week. School was shut down for 8 days.
One of the affected local organizations was Greenville Animal Care. They were without power to take care of all of their animals for over a week. Many people came to the rescue fostering animals and the Greenville Humane Society (which did have power) took over 100 animals to their facility.
I love supporting both of these agencies as they provide free TNR (trap-neuter-release), low cost spays and vaccinations, provide pet food to those who cannot afford it, and run excellent adoption agencies.
To support these two organizations, I am having a charity sample quilt sale from my book, Just One Charm Pack Quilts.
100% of the profit from the sale of these quilts will be split between Greenville Animal Care and the Greenville Humane Society.
