Harry and Vicky literally fled the Paradise fire with little but the clothes they were wearing.  Although not burned to the ground, the damage to their house is substantial.  They have found an apartment in Chico and have both immediate and long term expenses.  Their total financial setback is impossible to determine at this point.  Oh, their dog Kia made it out too!  ...everyone is safe and sound.

This campaign has been set up by Joe and Melissa Thiesen (uncle and aunt to Vicky) who live in Simi Valley, CA.  These funds will be used to pay for immediate living expenses...mattress, bedding, pots and pans, clothes, etc...as Vicky and Harry have lost most everything but are unable to even inventory what can be saved until law enforcement opens the area to those impacted by the fires.  We plan on authorizing Vicky and Harry to withdraw the funds as they find necessary.
