Fire burned down our dad's house

Donation protected
Hi! Our names are Malia and Maile, and we are trying to raise money for our dad. He owned a house in Paradise and was visiting us in Marin for a few days. When he was driving back home, he got a notice that his neighborhood was being evacuated, and went to our grandma's house immediately. After a few days of being at his mom's house, he asked a work friend (a deputy) to see if his house was still standing. Unfortunately, it was not. Our dad has lost everything he owned in the fire that burned down his house, and we want to help him.

 He had just moved in a few months prior, but he lost all of his belongings including: clothes, photos, furniture, and irreplaceable items.  My sister and I would like to help him get back on his feet and replace the things he can. He only has the clothes he was wearing and anything that was in his car from visiting us in Marin. We would like to raise enough money to help him buy stuff that insurance won't cover, like clothing and food. He is currently staying at our grandmother's house in Chico, but we would like to get him back the comforts he had before the fire. We would like to raise enough money for him so he can buy clothes as soon as possible.

Thank you so much!
 - Malia and Maile

Thank you to everyone who donated! It is so generous of you all and we will be withdrawing the money and transferring it to my dad by tomorrow!

this is how his house looked before the fire:
