Your support to me has purchased $500 worth of food and water for east Tennesseans who have lost everything.

Any donations for live streams or subs this week will go towards relief for East TN, for the next few days. Don't feel pressure to do more than you can though. I'll take those funds and buy needed items and run them there for drop off every day.

The town population of Newport is only about 7000 people and in many cases the people there are well below poverty levels, and they've lost homes, animals, and in some cases loved ones; there are still about 250 people they haven't heard from according to the woman I talked to leading the donation program.

I'll also be donating my personal money for the people there as well, so again don't feel pressure if you're in a tight spot and can't afford to give anything, there's a TON of people ready to help out from what I've seen at the donation centers.
