Paradise Fire Fundraiser

Donation protected
I live in the Bay Area and want to help my cousin  Ellen and her family get back on their feet after the devastating Camp Fire on Thursday November, 8th that leveled their community in Paradise, California.   She has no other family.  

On Thursday morning, November 15, Ellen, her husband Bob  Brown  and stepson were forced to evacuate their farm in Paradise, California. They had a harrowing experience driving through the fire to safety in their camper.  You can see from the pictures below how scary it was.  Ellen and Bob  need  financial  help replacing all the necessities they lost in the fire.

Ellen and Bob lost  their home, farm and everything in the Campfire disaster.   Besides their home and belongings, Bob a woodworker lost his shop and all his tools. Ellen is a musician, middle eastern dancer and teacher. She lost all her drums except for one dumbek.  Matt her stepson fixes things and works on cars.  He lost his truck, all his tools, boat and fishing tackle. Matt lived on the farm with his dog, Fritz.  

Ellen, Bob, Matt and Fritz are living in their small camper.  Please help them to rebuild their lives. Through your generous donations the funds will help them  buy some of the basic things they need to start rebuilding and to cover other expenses related to their loss.

 Ellen, Bob and Matt  are grateful for even the smallest donation.

The pictures below are the last pictures they have of their home  and property as they fled the Camp Fire.

Thank you for your generosity.
