Vanessa Newman & Family Devastated by Almeda Fire

Hi, Friends... Tracy Finklang here...Our friend Vanessa and her family, Bryce and Alex, lost everything in the Almeda fire on Tuesday. They literally escaped with just the clothes on their backs. Their home is flattened, 4 cars torched, and one cat missing, one grabbed, and one found in the area. They have to start over from nothing. They are dear friends to me, and have helped me in so many ways, both back in Colorado, when I met Vanessa in 1997 through Mile Hi, and since we both ended up here in a completely random coincidence when I moved to Oregon in 2015; now they need our help. All monies raised will go directly to them to purchase basic necessities, let alone put their lives back together.  It's been the worst year ever for many of us, but we still have our homes. Vanessa, Bryce and Alex don't. Imagine that. It breaks my heart. Please contribute what you can, no matter the amount. Everything helps.
