Announcement:
For Patriots searching for the best way to donate directly to Hurricane Helene relief efforts on-the-ground in the Carolinas, Georgia, and Tennessee while avoiding unvetted/untrustworthy 3rd party websites like GoFundMe, I believe I've found a secure and effective option.
The link below is a DonorBox link for a group called the On-Your-Six (OY6) Foundation, a relief group led by (Ret) US Navy chaplain Josh Macias, himself a member of the National Veteran and First Responder Chaplain Corps. Chaplain Macias and his team are based out of the Virginia, USA countryside, and are working on the ground in North Carolina establishing, and then operating, a secure "Landing Zone"(LZ) just north of the hardest hit areas. They are aligned with the local county Sheriffs, who themselves are rebuffing FEMA's attempts to seize jurisdictional control of the disaster sites, and are coordinating significant loads of relief goods via small-truck and helicopter in/out.
OY6 is also attempting to coordinate additional volunteers from the VetsFirst Transportation Association, and both groups are in need of donations for fuel to continue relief runs into the areas. This morning, I spoke directly by phone to personnel who are actively working with OY6 on the ground in the affected areas. They assured me that the Feds are of no help, and are definitely making things worse, but the OY6 operation group, and its efforts, are growing in scope and not decreasing. It is my belief after said conversation, that donations Patriots might make towards OY6 Foundation through the portal below will go directly to the group's relief efforts, and that those donations will be properly used.
