My name is Roy West.

I'm sure you're all aware of the Elk fire that started last week; it has taken many homes and shattered the community. Among those who lost their homes, my grandma, uncle, aunt, and cousins were included. Their property was one of the first hit by the fire, and they could save very few of their belongings. As of now, all of them are living with me, as are their animals.

Sadly, they did not have insurance, and my family does not have the money to finance a new home. . . or even a mobile home, for that matter. Because of this, I have taken to the community for help. Donations will go towards building a new home in Elk for my family. Any and all help will be appreciated--Thank you.
