Help the Ray Family Rebuild After Hurricane Helene

Lisa and Howard Ray’s lives were forever changed when floodwaters from the Cane River overwhelmed their home. The couple was swept away as their house was carried over 400 yards by the rushing water. Miraculously, they survived by escaping through the walls of their home, but they lost everything in the process.
