Michel Family Emergency

Donation protected
I am making this on behalf of my little sister and her family. There is an atmospherical river passing over much of California right now and my sister and her family have been impacted by it. Today (January 8th), they were sleeping in their living room when they heard a noise. Tyler (my brother-in-law) opened his eyes and rolled off the couch to get up to look. That is when a large Redwood on a hill above their house fell onto it, destroying it. They are thankfully all ok, but they have lost everything. They have no where to stay and it is unsafe to go back to get inside to try and salvage their clothes. They have a 6 year old daughter (also safe) and will need to find a rental or get a hotel. I don't live in the area to be able to help them and the weather is just starting to set in. They are estimating 11 inches by the end of it. They live along a creek that has almost breached its banks and their driveway has started to flood. They have 2 dogs and a cat. The cat and one of the dogs is missing (fingers are crossed they only got scared and ran off) but they haven't been found yet. 

I am asking for any kind of help that you can offer. They both work very hard for the small amount of money they have, my niece just had her 6th birthday on New Years Eve and they were going to be leaving for her birthday party after their naps. This has devastated them and their financial situation and they need help. My parents and my family are doing as much as we can from 1,500 miles away but we can only do so much.  Your help would mean the world and then some to all of us. We are trying to get them relief as soon as possible. This storm has only just started and they may not have a single thing if the hill behind them slides out. 

Thank you for reading and helping if you can.
