Together We Are Asheville

- Although we are not from here
We are Asheville
And those of us who are from Here
We are Asheville - The surprise, the fear, the water, the tears,
of those who were lost
We were not Asheville but
we suffered with Asheville
Now we walk toward the future
We are Asheville
Together we console each other
in our different languages and
different cultures
Together we are strong
Together we are Asheville
God willing
Forward Together

María Campos and her husband had left Asheville on a trip to Texas 10 days before Hurricane Helene hit. They frantically tried to reconnect.
We look forward to amplifying voices that inspire and inform!
