(5MinNewsBreak.com) – In a sheer disgrace that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris ought to be ashamed of, North Carolina families are left bracing for winter in tents, facing steely government aid delays as they reel from Hurricane Helene’s destruction.

With winter approaching, families with small children struggle against chilling conditions due to exhausted FEMA hotel vouchers and a sluggish federal response.
The failure of timely relief underscores a greater criticism of governmental priorities.
Residents in Clyde, North Carolina, are enduring life in makeshift shelters nearly a month after Hurricane Helene obliterated their homes, which caused significant damage and took more than 100 lives, The Catholic Vote reports.
The storm’s fury has left a grim scene: homes destroyed, families displaced, and basic utility services lost.
Relief from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) remains inadequate and bogged down with bureaucracy.
Churches and volunteers are stepping up to fill the gaps left by federal inefficiency.
Locals like Annette Surrett, who lost her trailer to raging floodwaters, find some solace in community aid.
Surrett’s current shelter, a pop-up camper, was donated by the Crabtree Baptist Church along with propane heaters and a generator.
“I am using a generator that one of the churches donated. I’ve been using propane heaters,” Surrett shared, cited by ABC 11.
Churches continue to serve as the backbone of aid while federal responses lag.
Volunteers, including those from Emerge Ministries, have been crucial, constructing insulated sheds for temporary relief from the harsh weather.
Meanwhile, Kris Weil recounted having survived the storm by holding onto a tree as his home disappeared, “The house completely got washed off its foundation, and we got sucked out the back window — with me and my friend and three dogs — and managed to survive long enough for a swift water rescue boat to come get us.”
The horrors of Helene also touched families like Dara Cody’s, who are currently living in tents.
The damage in Western North Carolina spreads across seven states with ongoing searches for missing residents.
Comparisons to a wartime scene illustrate the long recovery road ahead. Communities are devastated, but the aid from the government appears ineffective, often allegedly benefiting illegal immigrants rather than the hurricane’s survivors.
As Western North Carolina braces for six inches of snow, the dire need for shelter intensifies.
With FEMA vouchers depleted and no alternatives in sight, women-led organizations like Women Fighting for America (WFFA) are spearheading local efforts to provide aid.
The Biden-Harris administration faces severe criticism for their slow actions and misallocated resources.
