HELP BONNIE BRADLEY OF PARADISE CA

A few years back, when I was at very low point in my life, I started blogging. I sat down and began sharing my inner most thoughts and fears. I didn't know If my writing was any good or if what I had to share would affect others. All I knew is that I had to write it down and get it out of me. I needed to put it out into the universe and chase the demons away. Then one day I got an email from a lady who told me how my writing had affected her and how much she loved to read what I had to write. There was something about her, something about what she had to say that touched my soul. While I could not feel the love of many people, this lady, this stranger's love went right into my heart from the computer screen and gave me hope. I never felt this from anyone. But I felt it from her.

That lady is Bonnie Brown Bradley and her home is Paradise, CA. When I got up this morning and saw the news, my heart sank. She was the first person I thought of. I wanted to do something...anything I could to help her. I immediately called her and there was no answer. My heart sank deeper. So I texted her and let her know I was thinking about her. I went to her facebook page and was relieved to know she and her family were safe but  her house, her mother's house and her daughter's house were all gone. The entire town of Paradise, California was gone. I had been to Paradise...and it was as its name suggests. A wonderful little town nestled in the mountains surrounded by pine trees and forests. The same pine trees and forests that would be the nail in the coffin for a town that truly was Paradise.

I just got off the phone with Bonnie. She and her husband have an apartment...they bought beds, they have food and were eating. They are safe. Yet, there is a lot they need to rebuild their lives. 

Please donate! There are so many horrible people in the world. Bonnie and her husband David are not two of them. They have always given to others...now it's time to get something back.
