Sam Hull & Alejandra Corrales Tick Fire Help Fund

Donation protected
This past Thursday, October 24th, 2019, another devastating fire broke out in Southern California.  This time it was in Canyon Country, CA and was dubbed the Tick Fire.  At last count it had already ravaged over 4,000 acres.  You never imagine that the worst could happen to you, or someone you know... but this time it did.

Our co-worker, friend, extended family member and fellow animal lover/rescuer Sam Hull lost her home and many of her beloved animals... and while nothing can replace the lives she lost or the valuable personal items that were destroyed, we are asking that everyone rally around Sam and her family to help them out in their time of need.

CBS LA Channel 2 News (and KCal Channel 9 News) was there when it happened... they interviewed Sam's mom Alejandra... and was there as the fire caught and they watched their home go up in flames.  

See Sam & her mom Alejandra On CBS News' Fire Coverage 

By the time Sam got to the house, she was only able to get her family and some of her dogs out safely before having to leave because the flames had already started burning the home.  However, always an animal advocate, Sam had literally dozens of rescue animals that her, her mom and her brother housed and cared for out of their own pockets.  These included cats, dogs, reptiles, sheep, goats, a peacock, pigs and more.  With no time, Sam had no choice but to open the gates she could and let the animals try to run to safety.

Later on, Sam and her family returned to the site only to find that their house was completely burned down and leveled.  Every possession inside was destroyed and while some of the released animals did survive, many of them did not. 

We're raising a support / recovery fund for Sam, Alejandra, her family and their surviving pets.  We hope to get a decent fund together to help the family get through this... but every little donation will help.  The family has to start over completely and re-buy everything on top of rebuilding their home and being able to care for themselves and the animals... and shelter until they have a place to stay.  If you're able to, please help chip in.

Our hearts go out to the family during this unbelievably hard time.

*Note:  I am running this campaign for the beneficiary.  The beneficiary is Sam Hull, and she is a good friend of mine.  All donations/funds from the campaign will be withdrawn by me and in my name to my personal bank account.  Once the funds clear, I will deliver them to Sam via cash.  The purpose of this is so she can have expendable and immediate cash to handle costs she's incurring, including animal vet bills, supplies, etc.
