Western North Carolina was deeply impacted by Hurricane Helene. In order to help the local community, proceeds from sales in my shop will be donated for the foreseeable future to help with recovery efforts. The need for aid is immense and widespread.
​
This month, donations will be sent directly to Hannah Cole, an artist and enrolled tax agent who founded Sunlight Tax, living in Asheville, NC. Although she lost her studio and a lifetime of work in the hurricane, she will be helping those in need with her skills and time. She is assisting people in her region by supporting them with FEMA applications, SBA information, and IRS disaster relief information. In addition, she is collecting funds for mutual aid and distributing 100% of those donations as they arrive to those around her. Hannah is a wonderful tax educator! She developed a program to help small business owners, like me, to understand taxes, and to have access to systems to plan for financial wellness. Her work is an integral part of my work.
