When one North Carolina woman,Taylor Schenker,found herself in possession of 200
family photos that didn't belong to her,she realized that she had to reunite the images with
their owners.It became her mission.
While Schenker's home weathered Hurricane Helene in September 2024,her friend's
home in Asheville was destroyed by the flooding of the Swannanoa River.Schenker and her
friend walked-the roads were blocked-to check the condition of the home.
"We spent about four hours digging through the mud,looking for any belongings of hers
we could find,because her house literally just doesn't exist any more,"Schenker told CBS
News."And during that process,I found about four out of five individual photographs and we
laid out the photos along the bank,hoping they would be reunited with people."
She started the Photos from Helene Instagram page as a virtual lost and found and hoped
that through the page and word of mouth,the photos could be reunited with their owners.
Mary Moss lost her home and car to floodwaters and some of her photos were among the
lost items.When someone hand-delivered the retrieved photos to her,she was overwhelmed.
Schenker found the photos nearly three miles from Moss's home.The photos showed Tommy
as a two-year-old angel playing with his brother.
"It is just breathtaking,"Moss said."This is one thing that the river didn't get to take-
or didn't get to keep.”
While tragedies like hurricanes and wildfires are devastating to the survivors,catastrophic
events can bring people together and strengthen community bonds.Schenker has certainly
risen to the occasion.
"Disasters like this really bring out the best in people,"Moss said."You know,I can
laugh or I can cry about it-and I choose to laugh about it.Fortunately,we didn't lose the
most important thing.That's life."
24.What can we know according to the first two paragraphs
A.Taylor Schenker's house was completely destroyed.
