Along with many other friends and families in Santa Rosa, we lost our home in one of the Northern California Wildfires. My family had 10 minutes to evacuate as the fire approached quickly at 2 am. I am fortunate to have some of my belongings at my apartment in Boise. However, my parents and brother lost all of their belongings.

It's hard to know where to go from here, but any donations will help. The photos, things we collected as children, home videos and other sentimental values cannot be replaced. Everything my parents worked hard for and took pride in is gone. Any donations will help my family get back on their feet. Even if it is just 5 dollars, it will help to get them food or shampoo. Every dollar truly counts because everything is gone.

It breaks my heart that we lost our home, but I am thankful they are safe. For all of those who were affected as well, I am sorry for your loss. It is important that we support each other and stay safe.

Please share this with your friends and family because every dollar counts. Thank you everyone for your generous support in such a devastating time.
