Gillott Family Recovery Fund


I'll do my best to paint the picture, any donation you can give will help. Carolyn received a call from her husband, Nick, that no family wants to get... at 6:45am on November 8th Nick called Carolyn on his way to work (Nick is a US Forest Service Fire Fighter and has fought numerous forest fires, also a previous Hot Shot) and told her to evacuate. (Before officials had made it to their neighborhood to do so.) Carolyn packed up the boys, their two dogs, two bunnies, but was unable to find their cat. She called/txt what friends and neighbors she could. She loaded everyone in their truck with just a few things and left town. Today Nick was able to get to their neighborhood to witness nothing left... The photos below are from Nick to Carolyn. The mug he found in the rubble was the only thing that survived.

Among all their personal items lost, Carolyn had Fletcher's birthday presents (his birthday is coming up Dec. 12th) hidden in their garage. All funds will go towards their temporary rental until insurance can find them something more permanent, clothing, housing essentials, home school supplies, groceries, etc. and replacing the birthday presents.

I will be updating everyone here so if anything else is needed, I will post. Nick and Carolyn are overwhelmed with the outpouring of love they have received from all of you and although they may not be able to respond back to each of you, they see your text and appreciate all the support.
