Last night, Tara, Arden, and Sofia received the evacuation order. With the fire still a mile away, they never imagined it would reach their home.

By morning, Kenneth went on his off-road motorcycle, navigating past fire lines and police blockades to check on the house. The fire had swept through the neighborhood, leaving toppled power lines and no houses standing.

Before evacuating, Tara ensured her 93-year-old neighbor, Mercedes, was safely picked up by her family, very likely saving her life.

Now, Tara, Arden, and Sofia are focused on meeting their immediate needs—shelter, food, and basic supplies—while also beginning to navigate the complex process of rebuilding their lives.

We’re reaching out to friends, family, and the community for any love and support you can offer. Whether it’s a donation of any size, a kind message, or a blessing, your help will make a meaningful difference as they start to rebuild and move forward.
