Have you seen this cat?
This is Francine who has lived at a Lowe’s in Richmond, Virginia for many years. She is cherished by the community. On the 18th of this month she walked onto a freight truck and got shipped to a distribution center in Garysburg, NC (620 Lowe's Blvd Rd). If anyone is in that area and has seen her please please help us. Check r/rva or @wheresfrancine on IG to help out or give us updates.

Income isn’t supposed to play a role in how much housing assistance FEMA gives families.
But in some N.C. counties, the highest-income homeowners received two to three times as much money after Hurricane Helene as those with lower incomes.

ProPublica and The Assembly have been reporting on the impact of Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina, and we know recovery is far from over.
If you’re in the process of rebuilding, we want to hear from you.

TL;DR: My wife is a queer-/kink-/poly-friendly licensed therapist focusing on sex, religious trauma, and transgender care in North Carolina and is accepting new clients.
*****
Jalan practices mental health counseling in Durham--and soon, Charlotte--North Carolina, and telehealth throughout the state.
Her primary focus is sex therapy, and she also works with general mental health concerns (including being trained in EMDR) and a second emphasis in religious trauma. She also has training, though not the specialist certificate, in addictions. She is especially open to queer, kinky, and poly clients (being all of those herself), and is a certified Transgender Care Therapist.
She is not in insurance networks, but will help with out-of-network filing and has limited sliding-scale slots.
I'm happy to put anyone in touch.
