Help the Melzers rebuild post-fire

Donation protected
Exactly one month ago, Lauren and Matt got married under a canopy of redwood trees. This morning, the newlyweds awoke to a fire tearing through their home. Both escaped unharmed, but their house has been damaged beyond repair, and most of their posessions--including all of their wedding presents--were lost to the flames. 

Now they not only need a new place to live, but they also need to rebuild their lives from almost scratch. They're supposed to head south on their honeymoon in just a few short weeks, and this heartbreaking event has cast a shadow of stress and anxiety over what should be the happiest time of their lives. 

I thought I would try and make it a little easier on them by starting this page. Every dollar donated will go to Lauren and Matt as they try and sort out this mess and replace the things they lost. They're the sweetest, most kind and wonderfully generous couple I know. If you have any thing to spare, whether it's money or just positive thoughts, please send it their way. 

Thank you in advance for anything you can give. <3
