Wendy, thank you for taking a leadership role in addressing the awful situation. It’s clear that our government organizations are failing to address and solve this situation. It’s individuals like you and the many others who are speaking out are the real leaders. As you may be aware we operate a couple of stores in the area and our team members have been dealt similar blows. My first priority is and will always be to ensure that our team members are safe, stabilized and have their income continue regardless of what happens in matters outside their control. We have done that. Second we are in coordination with the national guard who has been base camping at our facility in Marion, NC. The men and women of the NG have been exemplary. Lastly, it is our civic responsibility to be good members of the communities we operate in. We are permitted to do business and for that we are grateful. This hurricane season has been terrible as the west coast of Florida all the way to the mountains of NC have been ravaged. I’m disappointed with our current administrations unacceptable response and can still see the mismanagement of FEMA as we have been sellers to them of thousands of units over the years. We are aware of the units sitting throughout the southeast idle and are baffled by the lack of urgency to move them, which isn’t difficult. We are also working to see what can be done quickly to our Marion property which has the space to house up to 200 units. Since the national guard has been there it’s been hard for us to repair the massive damage to our infrastructure including our massive campground which the power grid was destroyed. What would be incrementally ideal, particularly going into cold temps would be to find hotels/ motels that we could rent to ensure water, electric and heat. Without power RVs would be like ice boxes and not ideal for the anyone. I would like to personally contribute $50,000 to the campaign to find those hotels and motels where I could pay those bills while other contribute at levels they at comfortable with. I would ask that you and others help mobilize that campaign and help find those motels/hotels for families to stay at. I will dm you my cell phone so that I’m more easily reachable.
This country was built on great people like you and others who are taking this initiative and your work is worth far more than my money. Thank you for being part of the solution that “we the people” are solving when our current administration is failing .
