Ligia & Benito Mosquera #Campfire

Donation protected
Ligia & Benito Mosquera were suddenly woken up on November 8, 2018 and learned that #Campfire was forcing them to evacuate their home immediately.

Ligia Mosquera (53 yrs old) grew up in Ecuador and came to Paradise, CA in 1986 and had her son Benito (25 yrs old). Ligia is Benito’s main caregiver since he suffers from grand mal seizures.

Ligia & Benito have not been allowed back to their home due to Lower Magalia & Paradise being evacuated due to this devastating fire, its expected they've lost their home and several cats they were not able to gather in time. Thousands and thousands of Magalia & Paradise residents were forced out of their homes and will go back to nothing. Thousands of business structures destroyed resulting in Paradise being wiped out.
