Other Families in Need

We have been overwhelmed by the love and support we've been shown by our community and strangers, and will spend the rest of our lives repaying the gratitude we feel today. Here's the list of ways to help our family directly.

We're in touch with our insurance company and are making progress there. As the smoke clears, both literally and figuratively, more and more families are finding themselves in our same situation.

I'll be compiling a list here of other GoFundMe's and ways to donate for other members of our community. I'm only pulling these from a list that has been verified by multiple sources, so they are confirmed to be helping the people they claim to be helping.

If you're so moved, our whole town has been impacted has here are other families that need your help. At the time of this writing, 88 homes are confirmed destroyed.

Update Aug 8

We attended a town hall meeting last night with CalFire, town officials and the Placer County Sheriff's Office. We learned more about how the fire progressed, and got some updated info. The homes that were destroyed are evenly split between Placer and Nevada counties (The river is the county line) with about 35 homes in each county flattened, pl.us other structures and a couple of commercial buildings.

Here are county assistance funds for both counties:
