Indigo De Souza launches fundraiser following damage to her home during Hurricane Helene
Asheville-based singer-songwriter Indigo De Souza has launched a fundraiser to help recover valuable items after her home was severely damaged by Hurricane Helene.
"It’s hard to ask for help at a time when everyone around me is in need of so much help. But here I am, and I have to accept that," Indigo De Souza wrote on her GoFundMe page. "My home and all of my belongings were destroyed by hurricane Helene. I do not want to abandon this place— these mountains that I’ve known all my life — this community that has held me so fully.I want to stay here, continue building a life here,,, I want to be a part of this place forever, no matter how broken it is."
As well as damage to her living space, the hurricane caused irreparable damage to her musical equipment, and has, as a result, deeply affected her mental health. "I am raising this money to replace the world of things I’ve lost," she continued. "And most importantly, the equipment I am so used to leaning on for making music — things that keep me alive, and allow me to work from home. I am starting from ground zero."
Indigo De Souza also contributed to Cardinals at the Window, a compilation to benefit hurricane victims in western North Carolina, featuring the likes of The War on Drugs, Fleet Foxes, R.E.M., Waxahatchee and more.
