Family Evacuees from Paradise

Donation protected
Our cousins, Mike and Sam, have lived in Paradise, CA for the last 23 years, since they were toddlers.  They have lived their whole lives in Paradise and now it is gone.  Mike is married with two small children, and he and his wife Melissa are expecting their third child in December. 

When the fire struck, Mike, Melissa, the children, Sam and his girlfriend, were all able to safely evacuate to Reno.  Our family is extremely grateful they are all safe and sound and have somewhere to stay with their sister, Nicole, but Mike and Melissa were not able to take anything with then and Sam was left only wearing his work uniform. 

Mike and Melissa's house was completely destroyed and we have not received confirmation if Sam's apartment is still standing.  They will not be able to return to Paradise to assess the damage for 1-3 months and in the meantime they need literally everything:  clothes, toiletries, household supplies, baby stuff, school supplies for the older children.

Any contribution is greatly appreciated.  We want to help them have some breathing room as they figure out how to deal the complete upheaval of their lives and the devastation that was wrought upon them, their town and their home.
