Local teacher, pilot helps Helene victims in Georgia
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – A local North Augusta teacher and pilot is working to help some of the people affected by Hurricane Helene in Georgia.
“The community really did everything. I’m just kind of the delivery driver at this point. I was overwhelmed by the support from the community, and so what turned into just me flying down there, has turned into a two-plane operation,” said Travis Spears.
Augusta Aviation even donated one of their planes and a pilot to help Spears due to the amount of donations received.
Spears will fly to Baxley, Ga., bringing non-profit food, water, camping stoves and tents for families there.
