Community Impact & Partnership.
Rooted in Appalachia. Reaching Beyond. Appalachian Mission Advocacy (AMA) was born in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene — a grassroots movement turned long-term mission. What started as disaster relief became a full-force initiative for community rebuilding, financial empowerment, and mutual aid. Now, under the Kari Paige platform, AMA continues to serve, scale, and support.

The Resale Model That Gives Back
Sell 2 / Donate 1 — It’s that simple.Through our resale platforms like Poshmark & eBay, every two items sold help fund one item donated to someone in need. It’s sustainable, scalable, and centered on dignity. We also teach this model so other organizations can raise funds, too.
Budgeting That Changes Lives
Our Budget Workbook isn’t just a download — it’s a tool for transformation.Designed for those rebuilding their lives, it’s already in use across transitional housing programs, recovery centers, and mutual aid communities. You can license or implement it in your own program — or sponsor access for someone who needs it.
