Due to the disasters posed by Hurricane Helene, Baker Mayfield and his family were forced to leave their house. After moving to a safe shelter, Emily posted her experience of evacuating and gave an update on her family's safety.
"I do not have words to accurately describe my heartbreak for everyone affected by Hurricane Helene. You see this stuff on TV - but until you live through it, you can't fully grasp the terror associated with the unknowns. Baker, Koko, Fergus, and I evacuated yesterday and are safe," Emily said.
"Our sweet, sweet community got pummeled, but even that doesn't compare to the people up North who took this storm head-on. It's unfathomable. I'm so thankful to God for protecting us - and our home - and I'm praying nonstop for everyone dealing with the aftermath of the storm, the surge, the damage, the loss," Emily added.
Last but not least, Emily even shared that they will be moving out of the city and would appreciate any kind of help. "I am looking for ways to get out and tangibly help. Please send me anything you find —and I will share the good ones," Emily concluded.
Baker and Emily Mayfield earlier this month donated $17,900 to Space Coast High School in Florida as they were in dire need of football equipment.
