In 2009 we purchased our home in Paradise California to be with family, both my sisters and my mother lived there, we were all right around the corner from each other. We had a beautiful life there family dinners,camping, off road and Harley riding it was a beautiful place to live. On November 8th 2018 we woke to a normal day around  5 am with coffee a couple phone calls with family and cartoons on for my granddaughter... the sky got dark and I knew something was wrong this was around 7:30 am. I called my husband and told him there was a fire, he was aware and headed home. Upon his arrival about five minutes later we were rushing to wet things down and I loaded up the family dog and cat and grabbed my granddaughter and my computer and documents.... thats it. Then we received the evacuation call to get out around 8am THE WHOLE TOWN, ALL ZONES!!! I loaded up and my husband decided to stay to fight the fire. I was in tears and begging him to stay together, no such luck! He stayed till our neighbors home caught fire and into the back yard before he fled around 10:30 am only to face the other thirty thousand plus people fleeing off our mountain, Im grateful he is alive. I am grateful my entire family is alive. As for now as you can imagine we are not knowing what to do...a day at a time and count the blessings and mourn the loss of our entire lifetime of family treasures, pictures, and our place called HOME.... I dont know where to start so I will start here asking for any help, we will need in the coming months as we walk through the FEMA process and insurance. Please pray for our family, HUGS
