Cornwell Camp Fire Recovery
Donation protected
On the morning of November 8, 2018 my family woke up to their worst nightmare and the worst nightmare of all living in the town of Paradise, CA. They were forced to evacuate and make their way out of Paradise as the town burned all around them.
My oldest brother Liberty and his family had to get out of their car and leave it. They were able to escape on a bus full of other people also fleeing their homes. My sister Sandra and her husband Josh also had to leave their car and run for their lives to escape the flames. They made it out with one bag and their cat. Their home and all their other belongings have been confirmed to be lost in the fire. My oldest sister Stephanie, her husband and their four children, my brother Lafe, his wife and their three children all made it out alive but lost everything. My Mom and Dad escaped with my twin sister Sumer. My Dad described their drive out of Paradise as driving through a tunnel of fire.
My family has lost everything but we are praising the Lord that they are all safe.
There were others who were not so fortunate. It will be a long and hard road ahead of them to get back to some kind of normal. If there is any amount you can give to help the Cornwell family I would greatly appreciated but more importantly I know it will mean so much more to my family. Continue praying for my family and everyone else from Paradise, CA as they try to recovery from this terrible tragedy.
Thank You for any and all support!
