Amish Volunteers Built 100+ 'Tiny Homes' for Hurricane Victims, but Guess What Happened Next...

...ChatGPT claims that "In disaster relief efforts, such as the recent North Carolina project, Amish carpenters often build small cabins in as little as 5 days." If a small team can build a home each week, and there are hundreds of volunteers working for almost four weeks, they must have built more than a hundred quality cottages by now. All on their own dime. If you know anything about Amish carpentry, you might safely assume those little cottages are well-built...

There are a couple of stories here that the mainstream media hasn't reported on much. The first is that FEMA, for whatever reason, has not been up to the task after Helen destroyed or damaged approximately 100,000 homes in WNC, impacting more than 200,000 people. People are living in trailers or even tents all these weeks later—and as temperatures drop.

"Any news organization or network can use this footage," [he] added. "You don't need my permission. Just please get these people out of tents and into something warm."

Well, that's exactly what hundreds of Amish volunteers have been doing.

WNC resident (and X user) Margo reported last month that her area had "56 passenger bus load groups of skilled Amish carpenters coming down from Lancaster PA weekly to help build tiny homes for Cabins for Christ." ...

...That's the kind of spirit that helps make America great. Then there's all the hard work those Amish carpenters accomplished after they arrived.

Teamed up with Cabins 4 Christ, the Amish volunteers have been working five-day shifts before swapping out for the next team of volunteers. Nobody seems to know how many tiny homes have been built. But I used my paid research assistant, ChatGPT, to do some investigating for me. For whatever it's worth, ChatGPT claims that "In disaster relief efforts, such as the recent North Carolina project, Amish carpenters often build small cabins in as little as 5 days."

If a small team can build a home each week, and there are hundreds of volunteers working for almost four weeks, they must have built more than a hundred quality cottages by now. All on their own dime. If you know anything about Amish carpentry, you might safely assume those little cottages are well-built.

We, the people, might always find a way, but leave it to a bureaucrat to take it away.

[National File reported on X:] "The Amish came to Western NC and built 100+ tiny homes to shelter Helene victims from the cold mountain weather. Local and state authorities kicked the victims out of their houses, saying they didn't pass code." ... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
