Viles Family Needs Your Help Post Fires

Update 2:28/2025

Few things are more rewarding than seeing people help each other in tough times. I are bowled over by the incredible response to the campaign. And I think it’s fair to say that Pete and Stacy are gob smacked by your generosity.  

Pete: “The money donated will make a big difference for us. All seven of us — Me, Stacy, three kids and two dogs — just moved into an unfurnished rental home this week. It has been a scramble — shopping for beds, a couch, dressers, kitchen table, chairs, appliances, everything. This will be a huge help paying bills and feeling more settled.”

We are starting a GoFundMe to help cover their immediate needs.
