donated my diaper collection today

[randonmf]

I ended up donating everything i had when it came to diapers to western north carolina which will be air lifted tomorrow, there’s a lot of elderly or teens (when it comes to goodnites) who probably could use them that isn’t just for personal pleasure. 

Since there’s not much media coverage unless you live in the south east, Hurricane Helene has washed away Asheville and Boone, NC as well as Eastern TN (and some parts of SC). Some smaller towns like Chimney Rock, NC  are literally nonexistent and everything that was once that town is now in lake lure as debris. This means major electrical issues, shortage of food and water, basic supplies etc. Unlike Florida, Alabama, and Georgia, these places are fish bowls because of the mountains and are not built to handle hurricanes. The storm has also broken numerous of records across NC and SC that have stood for over a century. Currently, this is estimated to be one of the most expensive hurricanes in modern history, costing well over 150 billion dollars as of right now and has claimed the life of 160+ people as of right now 

Basically I hope that my collection will do a few people some good to be able to handle their issues. and maybe it’s actually a good thing i’m an ABDL. 

Albeit, if anyone has any tips on how to feel less weird about now wearing anything to bed (i have been for over 3 months), it would be appreciated. Gonna try to replace these things soon enough 

 

 

ETA: For anyone who hasn’t been able to contact possible friends or family, reception and cell service in some areas are nonexistent and have been since the storm because several stations were knocked down. Please, please don’t get in your head too much regarding this and I hope that you get contact with that loved one soon.

It was very kind of you to donate your diapers. I'm sure people in need will be very grateful to have them!

I've got friends who live in Asheville (their house is safe but no power) and their cat living that managed to escape yesterday and are living with us for the time being.

I hope that you are able to find the cat soon, and I hope that their power comes back soon 🙏

And it was extremely nice of you to let them go in with them  

 

Pets are definitely a big concern right now, I have a frog and no shipments of live feed are coming in right now. Shipments and mail have stopped in the area so no pet stores are getting anything in. Literally drove an hour yesterday to find something and there’s nothing  😭

Luckily was able to find someone after asking everyone I know to ask friends if they have anything extra. Was really nervous about my little guy tho and he’s definitely lost a ton of weight. 🥲

Nice of you, but there are plenty of millionaires, and even billionaires that could help and not lose anything.

True, but my experience with many are they will donate anyway, and many won't!  They don't get rich by giving their money away!  Some would rather see a person get kicked out of their home or not be able to afford to eat so they can spend what they make off of them on new expensive luxury cars and vacations!  Doctors and Lawyers.  Besides, in a situation like this, every bit helps!

These people do not acquire that amount a wealth by being 'decent humans'. Better yet they can even convince you with their wealth that they highly altruistic by buying a mass media outlet, hiring outside help, giving you money, etc...

This is going to end up being way worse than Katrina which is sad and unfortunate.

I agree.  Can you say "Elon Musk" who bought Twitter and caused half the employees to quit, changed the name and the stocks plummeted?

I would say every little bit helps right now.  Without doxing myself too much, the Carolinas are my home and luckily most of my family lives in the eastern half other than two of my step-sisters and their families that live in western SC.  They are OK and only lost power for about a week.

One of my sisters-in-law gathered up all of the unused medications from our family church members and all the sample medications from a local family practice, enough to fill her car and give it to a local pilot to fly into western NC today.  I'm sending her money to buy as much infant formula and baby diapers as possible for the pilot's next trip.

I talked to one of my brothers today who is a lineman working in western SC right now, and he told me that line crews in western NC are finding bodies and are having to work around them until someone can come and pick them up because they can't stop working.  I really don't think the national media is giving this disaster the attention that it needs.

That being said, Hurricane Milton is one of the strongest hurricanes ever recorded right now and is going to hit Florida as a CAT 4 by the middle of this week.
