On the evening of September 10, 2024 the "Airport Fire" ripped through El Cariso Village in the Ortega Mountains.

My friends Charlie and Nikki Hoey's home of 20 years was one of the structures that stood in the fire's path.

Nikki and Charlie have raised many children in this quiet little home on the mountain. Their entire world was this home.

I am asking for any monetary donations, both big and little to help them rebuild their lives after this devastating loss.
