Marly is a single mother who has overcome so much adversity to be able to purchase her dream home in the outskirts of Napa, California.  She moved across the country after her daughter, Zoe, received a perfect (yes, perfect!) ACT score and began college at UC-Davis.  Marly moved  so that she could receive in-state tuition for Zoe, all while working as Nurse navigator for oncology patients at the Napa hospital.  She had just finished the purchase and the necessary renovations to the home just in time to spend 1 night in her new home before being evacuated while she was at work. She was able to return to very quickly evacuate but could only grab her and Zoe's passports, while all of their other belongings, including Zoe's car, perished in the Napa wildfire.  The fire is so massive and moved so quick that they had no warning or time to prepare.  They are currently in a hotel with their two dogs.  While insurance will offset some of the costs, they will still be out an enormous amount and need immediate cash on hand for housing, food, and clothes and they only have 1 change of clothes.  I couldn't think of two more hard-working and incredibly kind people. If you can please donate any amount, it would be greatly appreciated and put to good use.

Please note that Marly is my stepsister and the funds raised are being withdrawn and delivered to her daily. She is very thankful for all the support.
