Dad’s total loss from Paradise Fire

Donation protected

Well we got the visual confirmation we expected but hoped we wouldn't because some of my friends/coworkers found their homes spared.... Dad's place is totally gone, along with his 4x4 Jeep Liberty, Van, Camper Trailer. This home was Dad's Parents when they were alive and sold their 1000 acre Nebraska farm in the mid 1960's to move to Paradise to help take care of Grandpa's Parents, our Great GRANDPARENTS, then 1997 Dad sold his 30 year business and Mom and him moved from Missouri to take care of Grandpa and Grandma in this house, which have both passed away since... we lost Mom suddenly to brain cancer just diagnosed while Dad and her were taking a road trip to Nebraska and Missouri to visit family on their 53rd Anniversary(October 2014)... had to have emergency surgery in St. Louis, the Doctor's told Dad privately she has 6 month's... but we didnt tell her, she wanted to beat it, had all the chemotherapy treatments, did not even add a month, she took her last breath in this house while Dad and I sat in the living room with her laying on a hospice bed... I am kinda glad she wasn't alive to see experience this HORRIBLE devastation and for her  to lose all the years of family photo memories and other things she saved, refuse to part with especially when we lost our Sister Michal to MS back in Missouri where she still lived weeks before her 39th birthday.  Dad has been through so much personal loss and heartache.  We just want a little help to get him the basics for now.  He only had a couple changes of clothes.  Everything else was a complete loss.  And this is only for the ones who aren’t affected to donate.  His whole town along with all his friends is gone too.  Yet he is visiting them all and working hard to look after the friends as best as he can.
