Fire Relief Assistance Fund

As many of you have heard in the news, much of Napa and Sonoma counties have been devastated by the wildfires. My aunt and uncle, Cherry and Noel, lived in the Fountaingrove area of Santa Rosa. It was one of the worst hit areas and unfortunately, they lost their home. My aunt, uncle, their daughter Felicity, and my grandpa were able to quickly evacuate early Monday morning with nothing more than the clothes on their back and my aunt's purse. They lost everything in the fire.

For those of you who know my aunt and uncle, they are some of the most generous people and are always ready to lend a helping hand to family and friends in need. Now it's our time to help them.

It's too early to tell how much damage has been done and it will take some time to rebuild everything they have lost. However, they do need immediate help with the basic necessities (food, clothing, toiletries), including eyeglasses for my cousin and grandpa, my grandpa's hearing aid, and prescription medicine that they didn't have time to take during the hasty evacuation.

Any monetary donation will be greatly appreciated by our family. Thank you for your generosity, and please help us spread the word!
