A North Carolina resident affected by devastating Hurricane Helene posted a video message condemning the government for abandoning its citizens.
“Y’all, we need to have a real talk about what’s happening in the North Carolina mountains after Hurricane Helene,” a TikTok user named Leigh Brown posted.
“First off, if you have family or friends up there or headed that way, *please* let them know looting is on the rise. Just yesterday, a sheriff told me to make sure anyone out there is carrying—*with the safety off.* These folks aren’t all bad—they’re desperate because in some of these communities, there’s no water. When people are desperate, they do desperate things,” the post by the North Carolina realtor reads.
“I’ll say it plain: the government ain’t coming to save you,” Brown said.
“Not now, not ever. It’s us, the citizens, who have to step up. And let me tell y’all, my community—just over an hour away—showed up.

We’re taking even more donations today, and I’m making sure they go straight to the hands of volunteers I trust,” she continued.
“Why? Because people told me, ‘Leigh, we don’t trust the relief organizations anymore.’ And you know what? They’re right,” Brown added.
“We’ve lost our organizations to liars and grifters. It’s time we rely on each other—like patriots built this country, one by one. And I promise you this, I’m getting your donations to where they need to go,” she vowed.
Brown told the victims of the deadly storm they were not forgotten while urging those who wanted to help to “send real supplies.”
“Money isn’t going to feed or hydrate anyone,” she explained.
“This is a wake-up call for all of us. Start stocking up on water and food. Make sure you’re ready for when, not if, disaster strikes. And if you can, send your donated goods with a friend and make sure the trucks are loaded—our first responders are stretched thin,” she said…
