Paradise fire victim and family

Donation protected
My cousin Justin Norten just lost everything in the paradise fire. He is an army veteran who had 2 tours for almost two years  in the Afghanistan war. He spent 6 years of his life in Germany while in the army and a nine month tour in South korea. He met his wife Kerstin while in Germany and brought her back to the states to start their family. After spending two years in Texas still in the army they landed in paradise California to raise their 3 year old son Alex. Kerstin had a job in paradise working for a bakery making beautiful custom cakes for all occasions. Not only have they lost everything in this tragedy Kerstin lost her job. The bakery is gone. Justin had been having a hard time trying to find work to support his family so he is in rolled at universal technical institute training to be a automotive mechanic. He and his family are now staying with family hours away from his school which he is going to continue to study. Kerstin and alex will be staying in redwood city while justin figures out how he will continue with school. This tragedy is now going to separate his family and add more hardship. He and his family are in need of help and after the time he spent serving our country and helping others is well deserving of it.
