On August 1, my best friend Natalie and her family lost everything except each other and their animals in the devastating Old Trails Fire.
In a matter of minutes, the only home Natalie has ever known was gone. Twenty-four years of memories, family heirlooms, photographs, clothing, furniture, and every piece of their daily life were reduced to ashes.
For those who know Natalie, you know her home wasn’t just a house. For well over a decade, it was a safe haven for animals in need. Hundreds—if not thousands—of cats, kittens, dogs, and other animals found safety, healing, and a second chance within those walls through foster care. Countless lives were changed there. Losing that home means losing a place that brought hope to so many.
Right now, they have the clothes on their backs, their phones, one day’s worth of pet food, and each other.
While nothing can replace what they’ve lost, we can help lighten the burden as they begin the overwhelming process of rebuilding their lives. Between navigating insurance, finding temporary housing, replacing basic necessities, and caring for their beloved animals, the road ahead is going to be long.
Every donation, no matter the amount, will help provide immediate necessities and support them as they work toward rebuilding what was lost. If you’re unable to donate, simply sharing this fundraiser can make an incredible difference.
For those who would rather send supplies for their animals, an Amazon Wish List has also been created:
Current pet food needs include:
• Hills c/d Stress prescription food (2 cats)
• Nulo Beef & Barley dog food
• Fancy Feast Classic Poultry Pâté
• Iams Urinary dry cat food
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for supporting Natalie and her family during the most difficult time of their lives. Your kindness, generosity, and compassion mean more than words can express.
