Mattress Sisters Rebuild with Community Support
Description
Two years after surviving a deadly flood by clinging to a mattress that carried them for miles, Jackie Fenstermacher and Cynthia Dunn are still rebuilding their lives — living in a donated shed where Jackie spent over thirty years. 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.
