As we enter a season of gratitude, our hearts turn toward the places where thankfulness feels hardest to reach — the tarp-covered foundation, the borrowed camper that has no insulation for the frigid cold, the cold mountain night where a mother whispers, “Lord, please help us have a home again.”

Hope is rising — one home at a time.

Through donors, volunteers, and the grace of God, Emerge Ministries is already building five homes for families who lost everything.

But 13 more families are still displaced — still waiting — still hoping.

They aren’t asking for luxury.
They aren’t asking for anything fancy.
They simply want a safe place to sleep…
A warm place to gather…
A place where their children can heal.

A place to call home again.

At Emerge Ministries, we are committed to restoring hope and stability in the wake of Hurricane Helene's devastation in Western North Carolina (WNC). We are proud to announce that we are currently constructing 5 homes for survivors who lost everything in the storm, providing them with safe, secure shelter to begin rebuilding their lives.

However, the need is even greater. To fully support our community and help these resilient families return to normalcy—achieving self-sufficiency and renewed health—we require funding to complete 13 additional homes. Your generosity will not only rebuild structures but also revive the spirit of our mountain communities, ensuring that those who call these hills home can thrive once more.

Every contribution counts, no matter the size. Whether it's $25, $100, or more, your donation directly impacts lives and brings the mountains back to vibrant life.

Families who once gathered around familiar kitchen tables now stand in the mud where those tables used to be.
Parents who once tucked children into warm beds now pray over them inside damp campers or borrowed rooms.
People who worked hard their entire lives now face losses too heavy to describe.

From the middle of the brokenness—God is still whispering hope.

Your generosity helps families rebuild their lives — not just their homes.
Your gift becomes doorsteps back to stability, safety, and the knowing that God has not forgotten them.

We are raising $16,000. This is enough to purchase the lumber for framing house number 6.
