## Resource

What happens when life throws an unexpected tragedy your way? On today's episode, Randy sits down with Patty McKenna, Executive Director of the Outer Banks Relief Foundation, to share how neighbors step in when storms of life hit hardest—not just hurricanes, but personal crises like illness, job loss, or family emergencies. Patty tells the story of how the foundation began with one little girl's battle with leukemia and has grown into a lifeline for countless Outer Banks families. From helping parents keep their homes during medical crises to partnering with community surf contests that give back, Patty reveals the quiet yet powerful ways this small community shows up for each other. Key Takeaways: Why personal relief—not just storm relief—matters most How one tragedy sparked a 20-year mission of support The role of local events, from surf contests to beach cleanups, in sustaining community care This episode is a reminder that even in life's hardest moments, you don't have to face it alone.
