I've never asked for anything like this before. But right now I'm hurting hard. My paternal family, my Aunt, Uncle, Great Aunt, Cousin, and her boyfriend have lost everything.  House? Gone. Apartments? Gone. Jobs? Gone. Why? The businesses are gone too.  Context, my family is part of the #CampFire, because, you know, there are THREE currently happening in California. A snippet from an article covering this fire: "An estimated 80 to 90 percent of Paradise (the town) was wiped out by flames Thursday night" https://weather.com/amp/news/news/2018-11-09-northern-california-wildfire-camp-fire-paradise Right now they're staying 1.5 hours away from where they have spent the better part of the last 25 years. My aunt & uncle have insurance so the house will be rebuilt, but it'll take time. My great aunt & cousin aren't so lucky as they were renters. So they'll have to look at whatever options are available in the town after it's safe to return.  They're staying in a hotel and I honestly dont know what to do. I know they've been smart about things to the best of their ability, but everything helps when you've lost it all in my opinion. Additionally, we are still awaiting word if my maternal side Aunt, Uncle and my cousins who are still in school will have anything to return to.  Right now we're still in the dark. The silver lining of all this is that everyone is safe and healthy and we are so so so fortunate for that, but we are all hurting here. So, yea, I'm going out on a limb here and asking. I'm not good with asking but I'm going to do what i can for my family. I'm fortunate enough to have some stuff saved up and once my aunt can confirm that they can receive mail at their post office box, and that it hasn't burnt down, I'll be sending them stuff too.  But I'm asking that if you are willing to help me and my family out, if you would. If you don't have money, that's totally ok! I get it, I am not so well off to not know that feeling all too well, but if you dont mind doing the whole social media thing, I'd appreciate it. At any rate, this is getting long and I'm feeling more awkward by the moment about this, so I'm going to hush for now and just say thank you for reading.
