Rhonda Rees Woolsey Fire Fund
Donation protected
Rhonda Rees, Small Publishers Artist Writers Network (SPAWN) member, lost her Seminole Springs home and office in the Woolsey Fire in early November. We at SPAWN want to help Rhonda resume her business as a publicist, author, speaker and advocate. SPAWN promises to use any money raised to replace Rhonda's charred computer, laptop, printer, etc..
Rhonda told us her story, "Late in the early morning of November 9, 2018 I received a recorded call that changed my life -- and the lives of my neighbors over at the Seminole Springs mobile home park in Agoura Hills, CA. Authorities asked us to evacuate, and get to safety. The Woolsey fire was making its way toward our area. Since my car was in the shop, I phoned a neighbor and took what I could. This amounted to a week's worth of clothes, toiletries, and a few important papers. That's all. I honestly expected to return to my home within days. Unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be. Instead my house along with 100 others burned to the ground! I lost everything. This included my office equipment and supplies, precious family heirlooms, photos, dishes, collectables and other things. The good news is all the residents, elderly, children, families and pets made it out of the mobile home park safely. Half of the homes in our park are okay, although some have suffered fire damage, and our lake is wrecked with dying fish. The place is contaminated, and not safe to go back to for some time. I'd very much appreciate any help with replacing my office equipment such as computer, laptop, phone, printer, scanner, etc. Thank you very much."
