Hello I'm Deb Barnett, as long-time friend of Irene. We attended graduate school together at The Institute of Transpersonal Psychology. Our beloved Irene, lost the home where she lived and all of her belongings, in the Paradise, CA fire. I am in Asheville, North Carolina, on the other side of the country from Irene. However, when I found out about the devastation that Paradise experienced, I wanted to do something to help. So, I decided to start this campaign to raise money to help Irene.  I am so grateful to you as we help her to get back on her feet! All of the money from the campaign goes directly to Irene.
