Awhile ago, we mourned the loss of Keziah Caton—an extraordinary soul who radiated kindness and dedication. Juggling a full-time role at Hoodsly and pursuing her dreams as a committed student, Keziah left an indelible mark on our hearts.
In the face of tragedy, our Hoodsly family united, emphasizing the importance of love and support. Keziah’s passing prompted us to cherish each day, express love, and prioritize what truly matters.
To honor a legacy of compassion and resilience, we established HopeMill—a nonprofit dedicated to providing assistance to those in need. Through HopeMill, we share uplifting stories of community and perseverance, turning our annual efforts into a testament to the values that inspire us. Our mission is to bring hope and support where it’s needed most, ensuring that our impact continues to grow and make a difference in the lives of others.
There is SO MUCH good being done in the high country the last month, it has been amazing to play our part in the process. The NC DOT continues to clear roads, machinery is everywhere repairing and recreating key roadways. There will be areas that have long term travel issues, but improvement is visible every day.
Today was the first two deliveries of RVs that were purchased by an amazing group of donors and delivered to families we have connected with from the beginning. Your donations continue to go directly to solving the needs of these communities.
We were back to air ops today as we hosted a dozen North Carolina Senators in Craigstown to hear the stories of loss and frustrations with the pace of progress for many of the most impacted families in the area. We appreciate the support of NC Senator Ted Alexander who organized the group, understanding the importance of seeing the devastation for themselves. We hope that their presence will increase the State’s ability to send funding where it is needed most, the people.
