Hello everyone,

One of my close family friends has lost everything in a fire, literally down to his shoes. Anything you could contribute would help and would be greatly appreciated.

Within the first week of March 2023, my close family friend Russel Vaniman had a house fire caused by a gas leak. He lives in the upper mountains that have been affected by the recent snow storms in California. He was running his heater due to the freezing temperature. He lost everything but his car and narrowly made it out. He is currently staying with family but lost quite literally everything but the clothes on his back. Anything that you could contribute or just even sharing the link would greatly help his situation. Thank you so much for your time.
