Western North Carolina is grieving and healing
from the devastation of Hurricane Helene.
Our region is still regaining basic stability and navigating the changed landscape of our beloved mountains. The work of clearing debris feels endless and too many still lack safe, warm, permanent places to live, vehicles, and stable jobs. Our bodies, minds, and spirits are stressed, and even the toughest among us can benefit from the power of bodywork so that we can keep doing the needed work of protecting, rebuilding, and healing our community.
Your donations allow Sanctuary Within Bodywork to offer free and sliding-scale care to the WNC community during a time of great need.
