Lytton BC Wildfire Relief Fund
As someone who experienced the wildfires of 2017 here in the Cache Creek area, my heart goes out to all those affected by this tragedy. Please share this around! I felt helpless in this situation hearing that several hundred people were losing everything, which is why I started this GoFundMe.
I have been in contact with the Mayor of Lytton and each of the council members to allocate the funds directly to the families impacted by this disaster. These funds will be used to directly support the community members in terms offood, clothing, basic necessities, emergency lodging, etc.
“Residents of a village in B.C.'s Fraser Canyon have been told to evacuate the area after a fast-moving wildfire swept in on Wednesday evening.
Mayor Jan Polderman says he told everyone to leave Lytton, a community of some 250 people, as the situation rapidly deteriorated. He signed the official evacuation order at 6 p.m. PT.
"It's dire. The whole town is on fire," Polderman told CBC News. "It took, like, a whole 15 minutes from the first sign of smoke to, all of a sudden, there being fire everywhere."” - Courtesy of CBC News.
The residents of Lytton BC are under serious distress as a wildfire is raging through the town. The entire town had to be evacuated and redirected to Lillooet or Merritt. This GoFundMe is to support those who’ve lost anything in this wildfire tragedy.
