Our Roots

How It Began

The Rescue Squad Inc. was born from the unwavering commitment of Jared Roy, Tyler Poling, and Holly Guida, three individuals who witnessed the devastation of Hurricane Helene and the extraordinary resilience of the communities determined to rebuild.


From Day 2, Tyler Poling, serving as Logistics Specialist and Director of the Carolinas for United Cajun Navy (UCN), worked tirelessly on the ground, coordinating critical supplies and resources to reach families in crisis. On Day 3, Holly Guida joined the effort as Transitional Housing Specialist with Emergency RV and later UCN, securing housing for 189 displaced survivors and building key partnerships across Western North Carolina to ensure families received food, clothing, and essential support. Jared Roy entered the scene as a donor, delivering $7,000 worth of toys to bring Christmas joy to children who had lost so much, then stayed as a deployment team member with UCN, inspired by the compassion and bonds he witnessed.


Their shared experiences revealed not only the urgent needs of disaster-stricken communities but also a vision for doing more, delivering relief with greater compassion, coordination, and integrity. Drawing on the connections they built and the lessons they learned, they united their efforts to create The Rescue Squad Inc., a team dedicated to standing beside families from the first moments of crisis to the final steps of recovery.


Hope. Help. Heal.
