Jesse's Berry Creek Rebuild

Donation protected
My brother Jesse Erickson's house and property in Berry Creek has been destroyed in the recent California wildfires. 
Jesse is an avid builder.  In addition to the existing house and workshop on the property, he had built a carport, extensive fences and several treehouses amongst the pine trees. (The photo below shows the main house and one treehouse before the fires.) The house and all surrounding structures have all been decimated, according to surveys of the area. 

Jesse has been living in an RV in Sunnyvale to assist caring for our dad who recently had a bad accident and brain injury, and was planning to move up to Berry Creek in October. He had recently taken a trailer and a load of tools and gear up there just before the fires, all of which has now been destroyed.

Jesse's house and property in Berry Creek was uninsured against fire. He had recently attempted again to get fire insurance but all reputable insurance companies denied coverage due to the wildfire risk. 
As a competent builder Jesse has the skills and work ethic to rebuild, but needs money for materials.  All donations are deeply appreciated by Jesse and his family.

PLEASE NOTE! This fundraiser is set in Australian dollars! I (Naomi) live in Australia and will be withdrawing the funds in AUD, then transferring to Jesse.  If you're not in Australia, please use this converter tool to know how the amount you will be charged in your currency.

GoFundMe does not charge a conversion fee. https://www.xe.com/currencyconverter/convert/?Amount=1&From=USD&To=AUD

For example, if you're in the US and you want to donate $100USD, this equates to a donation on this page of roughly $140 AUD.  I have updated the target of the campaign so it equates roughly to $50,000 USD.
