After Hurricane Helene devastated Western North Carolina, many families were left without homes. But thanks to Lowe’s and hundreds of dedicated volunteers, dozens of fully equipped tiny homes were built and donated just in time for the holidays.
These homes offered warmth, comfort, and a sense of hope, allowing families like Kathy Graham’s to remain in their beloved neighborhoods while rebuilding. Kathy, who refused to leave her animals despite the flood damage, was overcome with gratitude when receiving her new home, calling it “a prayer answered.” ❤️
