Thank You for Standing with Us — Your Support Has Been a Light in Our Darkest Hour!

Since the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene, your support has been instrumental in helping us move from crisis to recovery. While much work remains, OM Sanctuary is now partially open, and we’re grateful to share the progress we’ve made:

• Initial Clean-Up: Major fallen trees and debris have been cleared from primary paths and access roads.

• Power Restored: Electricity has been restored, allowing us to safely operate essential services.

• Water Reestablished: City water has been back online for several months, and we’ve successfully repaired two of our wells—enabling us to better serve our community.

• Relief Lodging Activated: Two cabins have been in active use, housing relief workers supporting local recovery efforts.

• Community Support Events: We’ve hosted wellness and relief markets, sound baths, meditation gatherings, ribbon-tying ceremonies, and other healing programs.

Navigating insurance claims and coordinating with contractors has been a major focus, and we’re encouraged to see steady progress across all areas of recovery.

We are still actively raising funds to support ongoing operations and cover critical repairs not included in our insurance coverage. With your continued support, we can reopen more spaces and fully return to our mission of holistic healing and community care. 

With gratitude,
