My oldest friend Alex Rivera and his family  unfortunately lost their home in the Carr fire burning in Redding CA, By the grace of God he and Nikki were able to get the kids and pets to safety but  pretty much just with the clothes on their backs. 
Alex being  in construction lost a great deal of his tools  which will make providing for his family in this time of need difficult  not to mention all their clothes as well as things that just make life comfortable and enjoyable for the kids ...
 With a heavy heart I ask for any donation large or small  to help my friend in this time of need ....
