Their harrowing escape, stranded for two days on floating logs and surviving on water bottles, was fueled by humor and faith. Now, the community is rallying behind them with a fundraiser called “Hope Floats” on June 28th at Sleep On It Mattress Outlet and Gallery, aiming to help the sisters find permanent housing and honor the resilience of western North Carolina.
