Camp Fire Shelter Relief

This campaign is on behalf of the Gundersen family, who is providing medical care to their own community even though they lost everything in the Northern California Camp Fire .

The Gundersen family is full of bad ass women who are nurses from Paradise and Magalia, CA. Denise is waiting on news about her home, and it is confirmed that her daughter, Birgitte lost her home in the fire. Despite this horrible situation, this family did not hesitate to volunteer their medical services at the community shelter. They have selflessly provided care for over 192 people so far.

While this is a developing emergency, they could use your immediate donations to provide care for displaced Butte County residents. The current population of the shelters are primarily elderly, disabled, and low income people. We are directly supporting this demographic.

Your donations will help cover costs for medications, crucial medical supplies & devices, and additional necessities during these efforts. Additionally, because most of the people being treated are going to need to be here for at least another month, we are planning to use the donations to get safer and warmer structures for them. There isn't enough room inside for everyone, so many are sleeping outside in tents.

My name is Brevin and I'm setting this GoFundMe page up on behalf the amazing Gundersen family who have supported me over the past decade. Elisabeth was my nurse, I was at Birgitte's wedding, and have frequently visited the beautiful towns of Paradise and Magalia.

Thank you for your immediate support!
