Rekindled Frontlines is a powerful community care collaboration between the nurse-led nonprofit organizations, Rekindled Nurse and Debriefing the Front Lines

Born out of radical generosity, connection and community care this initiative emerged in November 2024 in response to Hurricane Milton, Rekindled Front Lines provide gifts of gratitude, in-person encouragement and peer support to 400+ nurses across Southwest, Florida.

Through this project, we identified the need for continued disaster related support This year, our dedicated Rekindled Frontlines Team is headed to Asheville, North Carolina because disaster recovery is continues long after the media ends.

How we got here: Last year, Hurricane Helene struck Asheville with an unforgiving fury, leaving a trail of unfathomable devastation. Lives were instantly changed. The aftermath painted a grim picture: streets turned into rivers, roads spit in two, critical infrastructure left in ruins and families displaced. Nurses showed up on bike and by mud to care for others while simultaneously navigating their own loss.

In the days the followed the media captured the immediate chaos and shared the images of the destruction nationwide. While the headlines have faded, the rebuild of the community and economy continues.

Rekindled Front Lines will be onsite in Asheville Nov 19 - 23 visiting hospitals, behavioral health centers, public health departments and community care teams to
