Fudem-Crawford - Camp Fire Recovery

On Thursday, November 8th one of the most destructive fires in California history broke out in the town of Paradise. Well over 6,000 homes have been destroyed so far. My dear friend Kristi Fudem’s home was one of them.

I met Kristi 47 years ago when I started Kindergarten at Stichter elementary school in San Jose, CA and we have remained friends ever since.  I love Kristi like she is my sister and I am on a mission to get her and her beautiful family the help they need to get back on their feet.

The morning of November 8th they left their house to take the kids to school and go to work and never were able to return home. They are extremely grateful to be safe and thankfully, a friend of a friend who lived near their home was able to rescue their beagle, Miles. They have secured a townhome to live but because the fire moved so fast, they did not have time to get any additional belongings from their home. Money raised will be used for clothes, linens, kitchen ware, beds and other furniture and household items. They are basically having to start again from scratch. As you can imagine, the devastation is overwhelming.

Please join me in helping the Fudem-Crawford family get on a road to recovery and to a happier place with a new beginning. No dollar amount is too small and please consider sharing this page with friends on social media or by email.
