On November 7, our family experienced the devastation of losing everything in the Mountain Fire in Camarillo. The fire destroyed the home of our parents, Sherie and Dic Galante and our nephew who lived with them. Nothing was able to be saved; every family memory, every photograph, every piece of clothing, everything in the home is gone. They have lived in Camarillo since 1978 and hopefully can eventually rebuild.

While we are incredibly grateful that no one was injured, the financial burden of replacing everything lost is overwhelming. If you are in a position to help, your support would make an enormous difference as we begin to recover and start the rebuilding process. Any contribution, no matter how small, would be deeply appreciated and will go directly toward helping restore their lives.

Thank you for considering our situation, and for your kindness and generosity during this difficult time. We truly appreciate the love and support of every person who has been affected by this extremely challenging situation.
