The Stone Family/Paradise Lost
Donation protected
Our brother, Richard Stone (far left in this photo), his wife Sharon, and her daughter Brandie lived in Paradise, California until November 8th.
That morning, the #CampFire roared through their town so fast there was no warning to get out, other than the smoke and flames racing towards their home. They got into one vehicle, still in their pajamas ....there was literally seconds to spare. They had to leave behind their pets as they were in hiding and there was no time to find them.
They drove through flames on either side of the road, smoke obscuring the road, embers flying...just like all the videos we've seen on the news...but this was real and they were running for their lives.
Thankfully, they made it out safely.
Their home is a total loss, a lifetime of memories and all the things they worked for are gone forever. Sharon's son Bobby also lost his home in Paradise. They are devastated...they have nothing but what people are willing to give them. Our brother and his wife are retired and on a fixed income and are living in a church shelter right now.
Would you be willing to help? Any amount would be appreciated and will go towards helping them find a temporary place to stay and buy the basic necessities they need right now. They plan to rebuild and stay in Paradise...but it will be a long road back and help is needed. On behalf of our brother and his family, we thank you!
