As some of you may already know, my friend Mary Wilk (one of our wonderful admins) has family that lives in both Paradise and Magalia, CA and they have been greatly affected by the devastating wildfires. Her sister and family in Paradise lost their entire home and business; and her other sister’s family is in limbo and has been evacuated from their home. As Mary is like family to us, and would never think to ask for our help, we are reaching out and hoping to gather funds to help her family get through this very difficult time as they try to reclaim their losses.
ALL donations are greatly appreciated! 
Please share this with everyone that you know and remember, no donation is too small!


As the holiday season begins, let’s give the Wilk family a much needed gift that they will appreciate!
 

Thank you in advance for your thoughtfulness & generosity!
 

A little bit about the wildfire:

The Camp Fire – the state’s most destructive and deadliest – began Thursday in a wild and wooded part of unincorporated Butte County before demolishing the Northern California town of Paradise, leaving at least 63 people dead and most of the town’s homes burned to cinders.

It was a rural fire that turned into an urban nightmare — an increasingly common occurrence in California.

Paradise, with 26,682 people, is Butte County’s second-largest city after Chico, which was also threatened by the Camp Fire. It’s California’s latest city to be attacked by flames after the Tubbs Fire tore through Santa Rosa last October and the Carr Fire destroyed nearly 1,000 homes around Redding in August.
