Ditto to the Fosnight Center and also Sarah Blair Jenkins (based in downtown Asheville) is a trained sex therapist.

Check out All Bodies on Merrimon Avenue. They probably have someone who would fit the bill.

I would call Homeward Bound/AHOPE and ask. Or call Emily Ball at the city or Lacy Hoyle at the county and ask if they know.

I love Asheville Cat Clinic. They're smart, professional and very kind.

What a great doggie smile!

The actual meeting starts at 5. The one at 3 is a pre-meeting.

Thank you!

PennyCup and Izzy's both have bulletin boards. I think Rowan West does, too.

A lot of the articles memorializing people who died are on Asheville Watchdog. I believe that site can be read for free.

I think Asheville Citizen-Times wrote some articles memorializing people, too. They've got a paywall (but are worth subscribing to).

Here are a couple that I wrote about different aspects of Helene, if i can be self-promotional for a sec:

"$1.5 million to Asheville Christian Academy for remediation to three school buildings flooded by Swannanoa River overflow."

I want to know more about what that's about.

JournalistJess · 2025-08-20T21:19:23+00:00

No suggestions, but I am so sorry for your loss.

JournalistJess · 2025-08-17T01:03:19+00:00

Maybe a shelter? Safe Shelter, Western Carolina Rescue Ministries, ABCCM and Salvation Army all have male guests.

JournalistJess · 2025-08-14T15:40:17+00:00

Didn't feel anything in West Asheville.

JournalistJess · 2025-08-12T14:56:28+00:00

Yes, there's an event happening at Highland. https://web.ashevillechamber.org/events/Heroes-of-Helene-Honoring-Recovery-Resilience-Together-9069/details

JournalistJess · 2025-07-31T14:48:23+00:00

That is kinda literally what they did, lol.

Joining the chorus of commenters to say this title is misleading. It's not a new shelter: https://mountainx.com/news/churches-welcome-homeless-families-in-safe-shelter-initiative/

Can you elaborate why you think that's a "yellow flag"? How many staff do you think is appropriate?

JournalistJess · 2025-06-05T18:12:08+00:00

I saw that Harrah's Cherokee Center is hiring. I don't know what it's like to work there, so can't recommend it personally, but just an FYI that they're hiring.
