Many people were unable to assist with the search, but they made every effort to assist in any way they could. One of the local volunteers told WVLT News, “We’re a very tight community. We try to help everyone. I got a phone call about what was going on. I was coming up the mountain from work and just shot straight over and did everything I could to help.”

According to a former resident of the neighborhood, Megan Kessler heard about the missing girl and created an organization dedicated to supporting the search and rescue operations. She gave the volunteers food and water. She spoke to WVLT News and said, “We knew it was going to be a long night.” She also said, “We brought coffee, chili, whatever they needed. We wanted to make sure we could supply it. They wouldn’t let us search, so we did what we could.”
