The Camp Fire in Paradise, CA is now deemed the most deadly and destructive wildfire in California's history. Of the 27,000 residents, my father (Larry Bixler) and two very close families* are among those that have lost everything. 
Many of the items lost are of significant, sentimental value and are literally, irreplaceable. No amount of money will allow those who wish to help, to be able to give those things back. What can be done, is to give those in need an opportunity to start over, because that is what is truly needed most right now. Opportunity and hope, that not all is lost.    
Although some of the short term needs (food, toiletries, etc.) are already being temporarily fulfilled through generous donations,  this money will go directly towards helping the aforementioned rebuild their lives.
As housing will undoubtedly prove to be a challenge, any leads on housing, ideally in Butte County, would be greatly appreciated.   Thank you in advance for your support,
- Daniel Bixler
