The (California) Valley Fire- How to Help

I normally don't do post like these but this is personal...
The Valley Fire...has taken....
-- My aunt's shed is gone-- just got AMAZING news (we thought her house burned down, it did not!)
-- So far, 61,000 acres.
-- 1 life (and thankful for the fast evacuation and the saving of lives)
-- thousands of homes and most of downtown



I am SO thankful that she still has her horses and dogs.
I am thankful my aunt was not home because this fire took the term "wildfire" and took off with it.
It hit so fast with little warning.
So huge thank you to the first responders and RIP to the lost life.

My aunt has not been back to her home, as many have not either.
Thankfully her dogs were saved by a friend and her horses let go.
The horses supposedly left the property, met up with other horses that were escaping. In true survivor fashion they became a herd family and stayed together. After the fire they made their way back home to the property. Thoughts that they get water soon and stay safe!

Other people have lost everything. They are waiting until the embers subside to find out the fate of their homes. Many have no medicine, change of clothes, etc with them.

Please keep them in thought and prayer and help out if you can!

I figured one way to help out from 3000 miles away was putting all the links, resources, and sharing a haunting unreal picture via The Press Democrat, with you to help you and those dealing with the fire.

Find out where to get updates, how and where to donate, and if you are a victim of this fire how to check in and sound advice from others.

That being said, pictures say a thousand words...
