Help us heal in the wake of Hurricane Helene
A fund to help us survive this time of loss
On September 27th, 2024 our beloved apothecary was destroyed when our entire town was buried under the floodwaters of Hurricane Helene. For almost a decade, the heart of my business has been this light-filled apothecary on Blannahassett Island in Marshall, NC. If you’ve been walking with me for a while, you’ll know that for many years we were simply known as One Willow Apothecaries.
In the wake of the hurricane, that space, and all that we’ve built there over the last decade, is gone.
Clean up will be immense. Starting over again a dream we haven’t quite touched yet.
For now, we’re focusing on how to remove the thick layer of toxic sludge the flood left behind, saying goodbye to all our beautiful medicines, and doing what we can to help save our historic town, and the entire community that is there.
It is with deep, humbled, and cracked open hearts that we are inviting anyone who feels called to, to help us cross the muddy current of this time.
Please know that every monetary contribution, as well as prayer and extension of care, is so deeply appreciated.
Any funds raised in excess of what’s necessary for keeping us afloat will be donated directly to our community here, which is profoundly in need.
Our hearts are breaking for this entire region, and every being impacted by the destruction. But the tide of love and care has also been immense.
I am flooded with gratitude for each and every one of you. For this beautiful chapter of my life. For its ending, and for what will begin again on the other side.
Together, we will get through this.
I know you from listening to The Mirrors in the Earth audio book. I recently finished the last few chapters, and have started listening from the beginning again, experiencing the spiral of healing you talk about because I started it almost a year ago. I know you and your community are strong enough to get through this. I’m sorry for all you’re experiencing and wish you comfort.
Dearest Asia my heart has tears for you, your family, One Willow and the Land 🌿 thank you so much for still reaching out with positivity in all the sadness Wishing you all much love Maz xxx
We Love You Asia 💖🙏🏼Blessings for you all in this difficult time of loss & sorrow🙏🏼
I too send love, light, lament and strength. And, then I also bought a course! The one for winter. Finding light in the darkness. It seem appropriate. Thank you Asia.
I just found your website and courses today while I was researching flower essences. I cried watching your videos and feeling so connected, and my heart breaks along with yours at the sight of the hurricane’s destruction… maybe it’s in these times and moments that even more of us find each other. The greater the need, the stronger the call. I look forward to taking your classes and contributing to relief as much as I can! <3 thank you for all the work and inspiration you've shared. Sending you lots of glittery and shimmery stars of hope and love!!!!
WE SEND YOU LOVE AND HEART PRAYERS EVERY MORNING. WHEN THE NEWS STORIES ARE GONE WE WILL STILL BE HOLDING YOU IN OUR HEART FOR THE LONG ROAD.
So sorry what you are going through , it’s devastating to see. Hope your loved ones are safe
Dear Asia,
There really just aren’t any words that truly express my deep sympathies and heartfelt support.
Hugs,
Sue
Dear Asia, I have been pondering for some time on what to say, but it feels that this has been such a huge impact on so many that I am unable to convey how I feel in words. Many blessings to you and your community as you journey together to explore what evolves from this experience.
I am also very interested in what the Earth has to share with you about what has happened.
May your brilliance continue to be a source of inspiration to all.
Much love Lorraine
Dearest Asia, my heart laments your pain…
