Hello Family and friends. I coming to you via this resource as I we need some help fast. As you all have heard Boulder Creek caught fire on Friday. My Buddy Indrek and I have lived up there for over 15 years and as you all know we loved it so much. We were so blessed to have had the opportunity to live up there on 11 acres in our 2 room thai style house. When we got the evacuation notification we thought it is not going to hit us. We had been through a few over the years and they never get even close to us. So we were loading up the vehicles with a few things just in case and then all of the sudden the sky started glowing orange and I could see the top of the flames above the trees behind us. I yelled to Indrek we have to go and he said Ok lets get the birds and go. we made it up to the top of our road by our mailbox on highway 236 and decided to sit there as long as they would let us and we assisted the fire fighters with finding water and roads the were looking for throughout the night. around 2:00 am the treetops above right about where our house would be lit up the sky bright as day flames shooting 30-40 feet in the air above the trees. my heart fell to my stomach as I figured that was our home of 15 years burning up there. We kept hearing explosion after explosion of propane tanks and trees one after another. We were conviced our house was gone. Indrek went up there in the morning around 5:00 am and saw the firefighters on our roof hosing down our house and extinguishing everything around it that was burning. The studio guest cabin was gone our 2 buses were gone, the 1 bedroom cabin that was just rented to new tenants just a month or 2 ago was burned to the ground. Our military tent we used as a garage was gone and every motorcycle and tool in it was now hot ash! But our home at this point was still standing the fire chief showed Indrek the video he took fire as it blazed through our property that night and how they were able to save our home. later the that day around 4:00pm the new tenants down below in the 1 bedroom her son had made it up there to check on his moms new kia sol and it was untouched and I asked him did you notice if my house was still there he said you house is fine! I started praising the God. So his mom him and I went up to retrieve her Kia and when we got up there to the bottom of my driveway I turned to look up at my home that was spared..... Only to see it ENGULFED in flames just a huge ball of flames engulfing my home of 15 years. I lost it, it was the most horrifying thing I have ever seen and I can not get that out of my head. I wake up in the middle of the night every night hoping it this has all been a bad dream! But unfortunatley it has not been what we always think can never happen to us HAS happened to me. So I I am reaching out everyone I know family and friends for help. My buddy Indrek and I hoping to find someone that has a motorhome preferrably to loan us gift us, rent us or something to help us out. We cannot afford to keep staying in hotels night after night. Tonight is the last night we can afford to stay here and after that we will be on the street. We want to have a motorhome so that we can be moblile. Our landlord lost his house as well so we are not sure what he is going to do as far as rebuild or sell or what he is going to do with his insurance etc. We have very little. We grabbed a duffle bag of clothes and few personal sentimental things. So IF THERE IS ANYONE OUT THERE OR ANYONE THAT ANY OF YOU MIGHT KNOW THAT IS BLESSED WITH A MOTORHOME OR TRAVEL TRAILER THAT ISNT BEING USED OR DOESNT GET USED VERY MUCH, THAT MIGHT HAVE IT ON THEIR HEART TO BE A BLESSING TO US, IT WOULD BE SO GREATLY APPRECIATED!! WE DONT HAVE A LOT OF MONEY BUT WE CAN MAKE PAYMENTS AND / OR INDREK CAN WORK IT OFF FOR THEM AS HE IS AN INDEPENDANT HANDYMAN. HE HAS GREAT REFERENCES. ANYWAYS GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS AND ANY CONSIDERATION YOU BE HAVING TO HELP AT THIS POINT. WE LOVE YOU ALL AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU SOON.
