Asheville Man Sends Emotional Message of Support to Flooded Texas: “Y’all Are Not Alone”

NORTH CAROLINA — A man from Asheville’s River Arts District is gaining attention for a deeply emotional video message addressed to the people of Texas, who are now facing catastrophic flooding from the remnants of a recent hurricane system. The man, who has experienced storm devastation firsthand in Western North Carolina, urged Texans to stay strong and remember that they are not alone.

His words — simple, heartfelt, and filled with empathy — have resonated far beyond his local community.

“My Heart Goes Out Seeing Y’all Go Through the Floods”

In a short video, the man addresses the camera directly, saying,

“To the people of Texas, my heart goes out seeing y’all go through the floods… Forget politics. Focus on getting the help you need. You’re not alone.”

The message was overlaid with the caption:
“Love from NC to Texas”
and has since been shared widely across social platforms, with viewers praising his sincerity and emotional clarity.

From One Storm Zone to Another

The man notes he lived through Hurricane Helene, one of the most destructive storms to hit North Carolina in recent memory. He speaks not just from sympathy, but from lived experience — knowing the uncertainty, trauma, and slow recovery that follows in the wake of disaster.

Standing in front of sun-dappled trees and wearing dark sunglasses, he emphasizes unity over division:

“Forget politics. Just focus on getting through this. You’ll make it. We did. And we’re with you.”

Community-Led Healing Across State Lines

Asheville and other Western NC communities have been especially active in sending supplies and messages of solidarity to Texas this week. From the Mountain Mules aiding in terrain-based relief to organizations like Beloved Asheville dispatching trailerloads of gear, North Carolinians have shown up in every way possible.

This man’s message may not be part of a formal effort — but it echoes the exact spirit of mutual aid, empathy, and grassroots compassion.

Resonating Beyond State Borders

Online reactions to the video have included comments like:

• “This gave me chills. You can hear the truth in his voice.”

• “This is what America is about — people helping people.”

• “Thank you, North Carolina. Your words matter more than you know.”
