My brother-in-law, Jason Hawkins, works for CalFire as a firefighter and lives in Paradise, CA.

On November 8th, the Hawkins family lost their home to the “Camp Fire” in Northern California. The hospital where Jason’s wife works and the school that their children attend were also destroyed. They’ve gone through a tremendous amount in their lives, including two life threatening illnesses of their young children. Their house was a true refuge.

The Hawkins family remains strong & resilient, but can use help as anyone would in this situation. They’ve dedicated their lives to helping others. In addition to my own donation, I felt the best thing to do is to open up a GoFundMe page for their family. Thank you for helping if you can.
