Lauren and Matt have worked hard to build their lives for their 2 beautiful kids, Ryder and Hadley. They are two of the most selfless people that would never ask for the help but in this devastation are currently in need. They just received confirmation that their house in Boulder Creek, CA was swept by the CZU Complex Fire this August, 2020.

Lauren has been working towards her Bachelors in Nursing, which she couldn't be anymore qualified for. She is currently in her last semester and with the loss of her books, clothes as well as other valuable needs, we as her friends and family would like to reach out to the community in helping rebuild from the ground up. 

Matt works as a foreman at Facebook and has had his tools, clothes as well as many other necessities taken from him in this. He would often provide for others in putting their needs forward. He is truly that strong support and warm hearted individual that we respect with all of our hearts.

Ryder and Hadley are two of the best blended children being the product of their extremely supportive parents. They are confused and without toys, clothes, books and other needs. 

We ask that you help in any capacity. Donations of any kind, toys, clothes (they love hand me downs), books, gift cards or anything you can offer, even being a virtual hug, listening ear or shoulder to cry on.

I, Emily Ericson, would like to thank you in advance for the consideration and love anyone can give to The Tranchitas. They have been there for me in many ways and I hope we can show them that they're valuable members of the SLV community, San Mateo Co. community and all of our hearts.
