On July 23rd, Margaret and David lost their home to the very dangerous Sand Wild Fire in Santa Clarita, CA. David was up north on a shoot and Margaret had to quickly evacuate their pets and some valuables. She could only take the things she could fit into her small car.

Due to the California five year drought, the fire was so hot that it literally vaporized EVERYTHING left behind in their house, including all of their furniture, kitchenware, bedding, clothing, pet supplies, their wedding gifts and a few family keepsakes. They are now faced with the staggering task of finding a new home and re-stocking the things needed to live life again. Funds are needed immediately and will be used to rebuild their life.

David and Margaret are not comfortable with asking for help but it is very much needed at this time in their life. They have asked that we make it very clear their intention is to pay it forward when they are back on their feet again. David and Margaret continue to be eternally thankful for the amazing blessings in their life, for the safety of their pets, and the generosity that has poured in. They will rebuild and overcome, find a new home, and continue their lives even stronger than before. The Swift and Buell families are very grateful for any and all support given to them and are thankful for the caring people in their lives.
