Help the Deans rebuild their lives
Donation protected
Greetings friends and neighbors, near and far.
It saddens my heart to inform you that we, Dennis and Janet Deans living in Canyon Country Ca. lost our home to a Ca. Wild fire (called the Sand Fire) on Friday, 7/22/16 at approx. 6.00 p.m.
The evacuation order came late giving us only 5 minutes to leave. Four hours before we had been told by the forestry service that the fire had burned past us and
we should be safe, but that was not to be. We hastily grabbed a few things, each jumping in one vehicle, and left with little more than the clothes on our back.
The entire canyon burned, destroying all our homes with the exception one rental unit. Total devastation. I am further saddened as a contractor to lose my collection of tools and equipment of 40 years, all stored in my garage, even my 4×4 Polaris Ranger that I dearly loved and desperately needed.
Should this campaign come to fruition we would use the funds to maintain our property, and provide operating expenses for a period up to a year, allowing us time to regroup and adjust our living expenses to our budget. We lost approx. 10,000.00 dollars of monthly income by losing our five rental units on our canyon
property.
We probably will not be able to rebuild because of insurance limitations. Additionally, the exorbitant cost of building materials coupled with our age, myself 72 in August, my wife 78 in December, does not formulate as sound judgement.
Our hearts are heavy; any help that this campaign could give us would so greatly be appreciated.
Blessings on you all.
