A queer bar destroyed by Hurricane Helene in September is getting a new lease on life with the help of thousands of donations from around the world. Nearly $200,000 has poured into a GoFundMe campaign to help rebuild the LGBTQ+ hangout DayTrip in Asheville, North Carolina. Brandon Davis and his husband Davie opened the bar and coffee shop just weeks before Hurricane Helene ravaged the Southeast coast. At least 242 people have died in the storm and its aftermath. The estimated costs of damages is around $47.5 billion. The couple had plans to host LGBTQ+ fundraisers, burlesque shows, dog adoptions and other community events in the colorful space. They returned after the storm hit on September 26 to find it in ruins.
