On November 28, 2016, wildfires in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, destroyed 1,300 homes and left local families in emotional and economic crisis. Local foundations, national relief organizations, and others stepped up to help. But what is the best way to help someone after they’ve lost everything? Money? Clothing? Shelter?
