Dear friends and family,

As many of you know, Paradise is my home town where I grew up and spent the majority of my life. I moved to Pleasanton CA  just 4 short years ago from Paradise CA. Aleah and Maya were both born in the only hospital in town, the same hospital that I began my nursing career at. Our home church was entirely decimated, and part of the school that the girls and I all attended. Prem also grew up only 30 minutes away from Paradise.

We have so many close connections and many of our family and hundreds of our friends are left homeless after the Camp Fire devastated everything they had. Many people have been asking us how they can help. There are many scammers out there, and it’s hard to know which organizations are best to donate towards. We are setting up this go fund me account which will help the hundreds we are connected to personally to help them get their feet back on the ground. 

If you choose to give towards a large organization, Red Cross and Salvation Army are 2 of the best. No matter which way you choose to give, it all helps.

Any funds raised will be matched dollar for dollar by Prem and I up to 75,000.00. We have created a list of those in need that have lost homes and either have insurance and many that don’t. These funds will be distributed based on financial needs of the individual. 

Thank you – God Bless

Prem and Briana Chand
