A Fellow 'Magician' needs our help!
Donation protected
Our friend and fellow 'Magician' David Leffler, has lost everything in the Paradise fire and needs our help.
He said everything was totally gone in just a few minutes. The entire city of Paradise was totally gone in just a few hours.
He didn't leave until 4:00pm and saw the fire racing upwards across the street towards his house and, as he turned the corner he saw that all his neighbors' houses were on fire.The entire forest was on fire and he barely made it through the flames. The winds were whipping fire everywhere.
There were a lot of abandoned cars in the middle road and he looked for people in them as drove around them and under the downed power lines.
The hospital annex on Skyway was burned to the ground.
He was literally the last person leaving Paradise and police cars and ambulances were stopped in front of him while they chainsawed a burning tree that had fallen across the road blocking their path.
The most important thing is he, his significant other Elena Tonetti and her mother who both lived with him, are safe albeit, shaken to the core. Now they have to figure out what to do and where to go. He says the outpouring of love and support from all his friends is encouraging and his heart breaks for all those that lost so very, very much.
David helped us while making the General Magic Documentary by providing an enormous amount of footage that he shot while at Magic. We are so grateful to him because his contribution helped make the Documentary an award-winning documentary.
Now, David needs our help. Please open your hearts and wallets to help David on the journey of rebuilding his home and life.
Any donation is very much appreciated. Thank you very much.
