Hi everyone! My childhood friend Maria, from Gautier, MS, lost her home and everything her family owned in the fires in California. As we know from Hurricane Katrina, getting relief funds, settling a claim, and rebuilding takes a lot of time. Maria also works in real estate, so her income is currently non-existent. I hope some of the people we know will be willing and able to help raise funds to help them survive this tough time, so many people experienced this situation after Katrina and know exactly how her family is currently feeling.
