Kinston, NC – When Hurricane Matthew ripped through the city of Kinston, it didn’t just cause damage, it also destroyed decades of memories.“This is the only home I’ve ever known,” Antionette Croom said, pointing to her street filled with houses and a tiny white church. “Everyone knows me. I feel safe here.”Croom and her nine siblings grew up in this small neighborhood. Her father originally built her home as a rental property but gave it to her so she could raise her two children.
