The tornadoes that hit Friday morning have left many home businesses in a state of turmoil. Katherine Helms, the owner of Renewed Roots Collective, is no exception. In a video, she discusses the challenges she is facing after the tornado damaged her home and forced her to relocate her business to a storage unit.
Helms sells vintage clothes and antique furniture, but the damage has made it difficult for her to bring in new inventory and keep track of her items. Despite these challenges, she remains determined to continue selling her items. She is planning fundraisers, partnerships, and may even relocate her business setup to a new location due to financial difficulties.
Organizations like Storm One Claims are stepping in to help homeowners like Helms navigate the insurance process and begin the process of rebuilding. While the future may be uncertain for Helms, she feels fortunate to be alive and remains committed to moving forward. She has an online shop and a booth at Rabbit Creek Market where people can support her business. Additionally, she is collecting donations to help her during this challenging time.
Those looking to support Helms can also visit the Marauder’s Market on Sunday, May 19th, where she will be one of over 30 vendors present. As businesses and homeowners work to recover from the tornado damage, it’s clear that the road to rebuilding will be long and difficult. However, with the support of organizations like Storm One Claims and the community, individuals like Helms are determined to overcome these challenges and emerge stronger on the other side.
