Jill Holtz is dedicated to finding lost items for victims of Hurricane Helene in Swannanoa, NC. After the flood destroyed homes and personal belongings, she undertook the mission of searching through debris to locate cherished keepsakes for those impacted. Holtz, a National Guard captain and mother, undertakes long drives on her days off to search through cornfields and woods, recognizing the importance of these personal items to the affected families. Her efforts highlight the emotional value of these belongings amidst the physical devastation caused by the storm.
"It's not just trash, and it's not just trees and pieces of metal. It's their lives. This is their hearts, their homes, the generations of history."
"Over the past few months, Holtz has spent much of her free time making the nearly four-hour drive from Raleigh to Swannanoa to search for lost items."
