CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Legendary former North Carolina basketball coach Roy Williams helped eliminate $10 million in debt for thousands of Western Carolinians affected by Hurricane Helene last fall.
Williams, with the help of Verizon and ForgiveCo, called several of the beneficiaries this week to give them the good news.
Madeline Fry, a Bryson City resident who lost her house and car, was one of the more than 6,500 who had their debt wiped away and heard the news directly from the hall of famer.
