As you enjoy the sun-kissed beaches and vibrant culture of Cabo San Lucas, it’s important to remember that not everyone is as fortunate right now. Our friends in North Carolina are facing a serious crisis, and they need our support. Tropical Storm Helene has left widespread damage across the state, affecting thousands of families, businesses, and communities that are now struggling to recover.
For many of us in Cabo, the memory of Hurricane Odile in 2014 is still vivid. It was one of the strongest storms ever to hit our beloved region, leaving behind extensive destruction, power outages, and countless people in need of assistance. It was during those difficult times that we witnessed firsthand how much the international community stepped up to help us rebuild and recover. People from all over the world lent their support, and that kindness and generosity made a world of difference.
Now, our friends in North Carolina are experiencing a similar crisis. Tropical Storm Helene made landfall with unrelenting winds and heavy rains, causing severe flooding, destroyed homes, and damaged infrastructure. North Carolinians are resilient, just as we were, but the scope of the devastation requires more than just determination—it requires help from anyone willing to lend a hand.
Governor Roy Cooper has set up the North Carolina Disaster Relief Fund to ensure that those affected by the storm can get back on their feet as quickly as possible. This fund is aimed at providing immediate relief to those who have lost their homes, livelihoods, or loved ones. Contributions go directly toward emergency housing, food, medical assistance, and long-term rebuilding projects.
We know from our own experience how powerful it can be when communities come together after a disaster. If you’d like to make a difference, please consider donating to the relief efforts. Every contribution—no matter how small—can have a meaningful impact. Visit Governor Cooper’s Official Disaster Relief Page for more information on how you can support North Carolina’s recovery from Tropical Storm Helene.
Remember, today it’s them, but not so long ago, it was us. Let’s return the kindness we received and give North Carolina the helping hand they need in this difficult time.
