Cajun Navy 2016 volunteers went on a life-changing mission on Oct. 12 when they did a welfare check on 104-year-old Jo Jane in the North Carolina mountains after Hurricane Helene.
Volunteers with Cajun Navy 2016, a Louisiana-based disaster relief group that formed after Hurricane Katrina, went on a life-changing mission on Oct. 12 when they did a welfare check on a 104-year-old 'angel' living in the North Carolina mountains after Hurricane Helene.
We cleared stuff. The next day, we got Jo Jane's message, and it was top priority. We dropped everything. We sent a crew up there,' Bridgers said. They eventually made contact with Jo Jane's son, Jack, who is in his late 70s, and asked to speak with Jo Jane. After a few minutes, she came out of her bedroom with her little walker and came to the living room and sat in a little rocking chair she's got there, and she was just kind of amazed with us just standing there; we came up the mountain to check on her,' Bridgers said. Bridgers added that he 'will never forget' the moment Jo Jane asked, 'Who are y'all?' and Bridgers explained they were the Cajun Navy and that they were there to check up on her.
You know, God sent somebody all the way from wherever, Louisiana or wherever, up here to help me heal this leg. Now, you know God is good,' Jo Jane can be heard saying in one video. 'You know, you've got to keep going through all this mess. But we do. We just do the best we can.' In another, she explains her resiliency, stating her belief that Christianity is 'attitude and motive.
Cajun Navy 2016 was able to deliver essential supplies to Jo Jane and hundreds of other Hurricane Helene survivors.
