Hurricane Helene, the deadliest mainland storm since Katrina in 2005, has brought devastation to multiple states, claiming the lives of 200 people. Rescuers are tirelessly searching for survivors as the death toll continues to rise. The impact of the storm has been far-reaching, with South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, and Tennessee all experiencing loss.

In the wake of the destruction, hundreds of people remain missing and close to a million homes are left without electricity. Rescue teams are faced with the daunting task of navigating impassable roads, making their efforts to reach affected communities even more challenging.

North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper acknowledges the severity of the situation, emphasizing that the rugged landscape has hindered assistance efforts for many communities. The path to recovery will undoubtedly be a long and challenging one.

Among those who tragically lost their lives to the storm is 7-year-old Micah Drye from Asheville, North Carolina. Micah and his grandparents sought refuge on a rooftop, but were swept away by floodwaters. Miraculously, Micah’s mother, Meghan, survived.

The heartbreaking news of Micah’s death was shared by his aunt, Jessica Drye Turner, who also revealed his final plea, “Jesus! Please help me!” Jessica, grief-stricken and profoundly affected by the loss of her sister’s son, is now relying on her faith to guide her through this difficult time.

Micah’s lifeless body was found a short distance from where his mother was rescued, a poignant reminder of the tragedy that has befallen this family.

To support Meghan in the aftermath of her devastating loss, her sister Heather Kephart has started a GoFundMe page. The funds raised will help Meghan, who not only lost her son but also her parents and all her belongings, including her home.

The fundraising page features a heartwarming photo of Micah, taken by his grandmother just days before the tragedy. In the picture, he is seen wearing a Jurassic World T-shirt, his smile radiating pure joy.

This family’s immense loss is just one of many heart-wrenching stories emerging from the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. As we come to terms with the scale of destruction, our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected by this devastating storm.
