Northern California Fire Relief

Tax deductible
My name is Taylor Shenton and I grew up in Santa Rosa, CA. The fires in Northern California have caused an indescribable amount of devastation. The footage of the mass devastations don’t do the damage justice.

My parents lost their home just like many of my friends and much of the community. I visited the ruins of the home of my parents, my best friends, the neighborhood: it’s all gone. The above photo was taken on this grim tour of the area in Santa Rosa but all of Northern California needs our help. It’s unsettling that in the blink of an eye, it can all be destroyed.

With time and healing, a lot of folks will be fortunate enough to start over. For others in the community, it will be a lot harder as they may not have the means, the insurance, or the energy to do so.

I started this GoFundMe to help the community collectively.  100% of the funds raised will be donated only to the United Way of the Wine Country.  I chose United Way of the Wine Country because they are supported by the Santa Rosa Fire Department and they are speading donations across non-profits for short term and long term recovery.

Relief efforts include providing basic needs services to individuals and assisting the non-profit agencies that serve the most vulnerable residents in our communities. Long-term recovery support may include food and rent assistance to help people who have lost employment, case management services, and mental health counseling.

Please give what you can, it will make all the difference.
