Our family is grateful our cousin Justin Mora and his 4 year-old daughter, Zayda escaped the Camp Fire with their lives. However, we are devastated to report they lost most everything else.  As a musician, Justin has dedicated his life to bringing joy to others through music. If you ever attended Beareoke on a Monday night at Maddison Bear Garden, you can give thanks to Justin's hospitality. He is a part of the Chico/Paradise community, but no longer has a home. And, without most of his equipment and studio, Justin cannot work to support his family.  

There were many heroes on Friday, but I think it is worth noting Justin saved several lives while fleeing Paradise. He gave his vehicle to a elderly woman and her dog trapped in a car that ran out of gas. After getting to safety, Justin drove back into the fire to help a young woman find and rescue her boyfriend who was left behind. This is the kind of person Justin is and why I want to help do something selfless in his honor.

I am asking for your support in raising money to help him rebuild his life.   Like many, Justin did not have insurance and will have to start over.  They have some essentials, including some clothes thanks to the Good Will.  Their most immediate need, however, is money for a place to live and to purchase essential equipment (speakers, instruments etc) so that Justin can go back to work.    

Please help Justin and Zayda however you can.  They need our help!
