Aarti Tejuja

Today I did some volunteering with The Hot Toddies to clean up the river. Todd is the town that Matthew and I moved to two days before the storm. Now, it is our community. What an interesting way it has been to meet our new community.

What I have observed is that Renata from Flygirl Fishing is a coordinating super star and that this community is full of super stars who are distributing food, water and resources, including generators, digging people out, chain-sawing what has to be chain-sawed and cleaning up the river.

And all this without having power and internet in most of their homes.

It feels good to land in such a kind and resourceful place who care about their community and the land here.

Hi all, this is Aarti. We are fine, but my phone is not working so reach out to Matt instead. We do not have power nor Internet and are sending this from a restaurant in West Jefferson which has power. Our land flooded and power lines could take weeks to be restored.

We are thinking of purchasing a generator.
There are people who are stranded in their homes and also who have lost their homes here. We will update to let you know what is happening.

In the meantime if you want to help us and others who may need it in the area, you can venmo me at aarti-tejuja or zelle at aarti_lentztejuja or PayPal at [email protected].

Thank you all! Send us prayers.
