Lost Everything in Sonoma Fire
Donation protected
My coworker and her family lost everything when their home in Glen Ellen burned to the ground. They were lucky to escape the fire with just the clothes on their backs when the fires broke out across Napa and Sonoma Counties.
Heartbreakingly the day that they fled their home was also their daughter's 13th birthday.
They need to replace everything and help their children heal. For now, they need help to get through this first urgent phase.
Very grateful for any help you can provide - monetary to help them survive this immediate crisis for immediate needs like clothing, lodging, and food, and in the longer term to recover and rebuild, including replacing furniture and household items.

She managed to grab most her makeup but makeup case, Hairdryer, Straight iron did not make it. She has one pair of Nike running shoes.
