Last night, on July 12, my Aunt Sabrina and Uncle Michael's house burned down in Roseville, CA. The cause of the fire is unknown at this time, but began on the front porch, while Sabrina and Michael were inside in the living room. Michael saw something and jumped up, opened the front door, and he and Sabrina barely got out, as the fire took over the house incredibly quickly. They lost everything they own, including all of their belongings, their cars, their family cackatoos, and their beloved dog, Buddy. They didn't even have time to grab their phones, wallets, or put on shoes.

Our family is asking for donations to help get them through this hard time. The money will be used to meet their immediate needs. We appreciate anything that you would be willing to give. Michael is a person who drops everything for someone in need and would give someone the clothes off of his back. We are hoping the community can come together to support him in his time of need.

We are all so thankful they are safe, despite the tragic losses they have endured and are trying to hold on to that gratitude as the days unfold.
