This is exactly how my Auntie described evacuating Paradise.  We are forever thankful our family made it out. My Aunt and Uncle used to live on this street before the Camp Fire devastated their beloved home and neighborhood.My aunt and uncle, Sandra Grames Kidd and Loran Kidd, had minutes to escape the fire that devastated their home and their beloved community of Paradise, California.  They lived in this mobile home park (Eden Roc) for retirees in Paradise, California.  Although they did not have much, their small home (750 sq ft) was filled with family photos, mementos, and thrift store finds which are gone forever and cannot be replaced.  

My beautiful, sweet Auntie has spent her life helping others.  They enjoyed volunteering to help others in soup kitchens and thrift stores in Paradise every single week.  Now, they really need help themselves.  

These are real people with simple needs that now seem insurmountable.  They have to start completely over.  They need to be able to find a place to live on their own.   My aunt needs to get settled, so that she can take better care of herself.  She has been suffering from recurring breast cancer and she has had two mastectomies. 

Thank you for any help you can give.  I would not be asking if it were not absolutely necessary.

Please know we are forever grateful that they are still with us and we are praying for everyone in California.
