My 6 year old son and I have lost our home to the Almeda Fire in Talent, OR on September 9th 2020. I'm a single mother who already works 2 jobs to make ends meet and now we have lost our home. I am at a loss for what we are going to do. I have never been one to ask for help and I know so many are struggling from this disaster. Literally anything helps from helping find a temporary place to sleep to a simple meal.

We are Nadia, Katie, Deann, and three cats

who have lost the home we shared to the wildfires in Talent, Oregon. We were able to save our three cats and a couple of bags of clothes before fleeing with a neighbor, barely getting out in time. Traffic was crawling too close for comfort to the fire, which looked like a wall of flames. We were grateful to take shelter with family, but were heartbroken to learn that our house and everything in it was now ash. We aren't sure if our insurance is going to come through. We lost art supplies, baking supplies, and a huge glass collection. These were all things we depended on to bring in extra income. We would greatly appreciate anything as we try to pick ourselves up and rebuild our lives.

My Dear friend, Ronald Smith as been a long time Rogue Valley resident and artist. Like so many people right now, He sadly lost His home in Talent, Oregon and all of His belongings and art work in the Glendower/Almeda Drive Fire on September 8, 2020. He is going to have to start over from scratch: finding housing, getting clothes and toiletries, basic household items, as well as, all His woodworking tools and supplies, that He spent a life time obtaining. He fled with the clothes He was wearing and a few personal items He grabbed when He left His home.
Truly heartbreakingly, He could only find one of His 3 kitties, before being forced to flee.
Unfortunately all the donations in the world can't help with the sadness He feels over the loss of His two kitties, He could not save. Nor can anything help with the guilt He feels for leaving them, despite there being nothing He could have done.
He can use all the help He can get right now, please donate what you can.
Only time can heal the pain in His heart, but at least having help with the material things neccessary to start over, will be the first step in the right direction.

All donations go to helping to rebuild His life, from everyday essentials, to the many tools needed to go back to building beautiful woodworking projects.

God Bless all of you for your support and donations.

My 82 year old Gramama, Barbara Speer, owned and lived in her mobile home in the Bear Lake Estates until it burned to the ground in the Almeda fire. She and her husband James got out with just minutes to spare and nothing but their truck, their medication, and the clothes on their backs. James lost all of his tools, which he would use to do projects for his neighbors throughout the park. Sadly, they were actually in the process of finding affordable home insurance, but are now left with nothing.

For now, Barb and James are staying with her son in law Dave in a spare room. They need all the help we can give to get back on their feet again and make a fresh start. My gramama has lived in the Valley almost her entire life and has always lived simply, never asking for much. It would be wonderful to bless her above and beyond what she would ever ask for herself. Both she and her husband are military veterans. She is also disabled, having suffered a serious stroke a couple years ago along with dementia. Any financial support you can give is much appreciated, and please feel free to share this fundraiser with family and friends.

If you want to ask any questions or talk to Barb, don't hesitate to message her daughters Dawnie Heidegger or Karen Forsyth on Facebook.

Good afternoon friends and family,

This fundraiser is to support my father, Mark Miller, who lost his home to the wildfires that swept through Southern Oregon.

On September 8th, a fire in Phoenix Oregon destroyed all of my fathers possessions. The picture above is what the mobile village looks like today. The only thing my father made it out with was the cloths on his back. His medications, legal paperwork, family heirlooms, and more have all been lost.

Due to the age of the home, he was unable to have mobile homeowner insurance on it. He has quite literally lost everything. He is also a senior citizen who is disabled with limited support.

Please consider a donation. Even a few dollars can help purchase him a meal or but him a shirt.

If you have gift cards, clothing, coupons, anything you want to mail/donate or questions, please reach out to myself, Steve Miller.

You can view the damage done by clicking this link: https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/10/us/satellite-images-oregon-wildfire-trnd/index.html

Our dear friend, Bridget Reynolds, has been a long time Rogue Valley resident and artist. Like so many people right now, she sadly lost her home in Talent, Oregon and all of her belongings and art work in the Glendower/Almeda Drive Fire on September 8, 2020. She is going to have to start over from scratch: finding housing, getting clothes and toiletries, basic household items, as well as replacing her art supplies so she can continue to paint and create. She fled with the clothes she was wearing and a few personal items she grabbed when she left her home. She can use all the help she can get right now, please donate what you can.

This campaign is organized by her friend, Kim Whalley, and we are all devastated for the losses Bridget, and many others in Southern Oregon, have suffered. She has selflessly volunteered for hospice, end of life care for many many years and could really use the community's support to help her navigate the next steps to rebuild.

Funds raised here will be used only by Bridget to secure new housing, replace furniture, personal household goods, new clothing, toiletries, food and to get a paintbrush back in her hand.

My Sister Jeannine and Brother In law Kevin, tragically lost their home on September 8, 2020 during a fire that blazed through the town of Phoenix, OR. They were given about 10 minutes to grab whatever they needed and evacuate. As you can imagine, they grabbed the bare necessities, their dog Reno, a few pictures and whatever clothes they could and ran. Everything they owned, gone.
They are fortunate that they will be able to move into a location at the end of this month, but as you can imagine, they will need to replace EVERYTHING.

Jeannine and Kevin are amazing, generous people who never ask for help.

My family and I are asking you to help them out if you can, or if you could, share this so that my sister and brother in law can have less woes during this rebuilding time.

Love and hope to all who have been affected by these fires!

My sisters four boys lost the bulk of their belongings in the Almeda Fire. The focus for these four right now is to get them back the essentials that they lost: clothes, undergarments, shoes, books, pillows and blankets... maybe a stuffed animal to soften the blow of it all ;)

If you have a bit to spare and help, we appreciate it. All proceeds will go directly to their mother, Carlie Casteel. She is busy working as a single mom at Rogue Valley Medical Center and aiming to help replace what was lost in the destruction of the boys home that they share with their dad (divorced) in Phoenix. The focus is to get the boys back on their feet and use the proceeds to replace so much of what was lost.

Carlie does not have access to her home at this time due to all the city damage and is working to get the boys what they need while staying with friends.

Around noon on September 9, 2020 the Almeda (Glendower) Fire started in Ashland Oregon. By 3 pm our son/brother, Cody Erickson, was evacuating his apartment in south Medford OR. He had time to grab his Bugout Bag, nothing else.

His apartment burned to the ground. He is safe and staying with a friend for the moment, but the fires are still burning.

His workplace survived but it could be months before there will be a job again and housing will be very scarce in the Medford area for some time to come. We are gathering all the help we can muster as a family, but not only will he need to replace clothes, furniture, and household supplies, he will need to live until some sense of normalcy returns to this devastated region. We, his family, humbly ask for any little bit you can spare to help us help him survive until he can work again.

The family is gathering and storing any household replacement items to be had In both Sacramento, CA and Carson City, NV so if you would rather pass on items to donate please contact us and we will be happy to get items cataloged.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
My Mom and Dad just lost their beloved new home and everything they owned to the Almeda wildfire in Phoenix, Oregon on September 8th, 2020. After spending years of saving money to find an older mobile home, dedicating all their energy, time and money towards fixing up a home they just purchased, everything has been completely destroyed due to the fire, including the death of three beloved fur-babies. One week after finally moving into their new home, these wildfires occurred, and along with many people throughout Oregon, California and Washington, they are being forced to completely start over.

I, (their daughter), have welcomed my mom and dad with open arms into my home until we can further help them find another safe space, helping them get on their feet during these devastating times. Unfortunately, we, (along with many others affected by the fires) are going to need help in any way possible to achieve a goal that can go towards necessary supplies and finding them a new home. My parents are the type of people who have never hesitated to help others in need, and now I am asking for others to help them if possible. Unfortunately, we have lost all of our sentimental items, which cannot be replaced. However, we are extremely grateful for any help donated towards achieving our goals of finding a safe place for my parents, as we also are paying it forward and trying to help those in need who have been affected by these nightmare wildfires.

I also just wanted to add, that if anyone is suffering from the devastating wildfires in our world today, my prayers go out to you and your families, as we are all trying to find a way to heal and help each other in these horrific times.

Jen, Sophia, and Sidney need our help! Their home was ravaged by the Alameda fire here in Southern Oregon.

My parents have lost their home due to the Almeda fire. They took little with them because they thought they would be right back. Unfortunately that was not the case. I know it's not easy for them to ask for help but I know they need it! This was our home for the last 15 years!

The Maynard family, already hit by multiple tragedies in the last year (including cancer, multiple disabiling health conditions, and the recent death of a spouse), were hit again as all three of their homes in the Horizon Mobile Village in Phoenix, OR were swiftly destroyed by wildfire on Tuesday, September 8, 2020. They were unable to grab any belongings in their attempt to flee the fire. The four Maynard siblings and their immediate families find themselves in need of community support as everything they had has been destroyed. They are truly wonderful, generous souls that have repeatedly given up unto their last dollar to others, unconditionally and without hesitation. Any help you can provide is appreciated more than you could possibly know. Thank you.

One of the kindest hearts I know, Alexis Marshall, just lost everything she owns to the fire in Phoenix, Oregon.

Alexis and Markus Marshall are safe and need your support to get back on their feet. Their home is completely gone. On top of this, multiple close family members' homes have been lost, so they are not receiving the amount of support they may otherwise have had.

Proceeds directly assist Alexis and Markus rebuild their lives for themselves and their two kitties, Athena and Shaxx. They need everything for their new home.

If you have items you're interested in contributing please message me on GoFundMe. I can likely pick up items in Central/Eastern Washington. Home/cat supplies are in high demand, as well as little luxuries like comfort items, makeup and books- Lexi loves books and had a decent collection.

Thank you in advance for any support you may provide, either by contributing or sharing this.

Be well

House Burned Down & Need Transition Help

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
On September 8, 2020, around 2:00 P.M. I was sleeping in my room in Phoenix, Oregon when I was awakened because of an evacuation due to an oncoming fire. I sleep days and work graveyard. A little disoriented, I grabbed a stack of folded laundry, my laptop and a couple of books, got in my car, and left.

Today, the next day, as I write this I am in a Motel 6 in Medford, Oregon. A lot of people lost their homes last night, including me. When I drove by the neighborhood from the freeway, I could see no structures were left. My house, and the houses of all my neighbors, had been flattened to ash.

I know a Phoenix rises from ash, but what happens when a Phoenix burns? I guess it rises again?

Now I find myself suddenly homeless. I did not take the evacuation seriously enough, and left being most of my clothes, my books, my furniture, my keepsakes. I have left my car, about three pairs of pants, two shirts, three pairs of underwear, a few sock, a towel (of course! Don't panic), my backpack, some face masks, and two books -- one on phenomenology, and the second an introduction to Gilles Deleueze.

Now as I begin the process of finding a new place to live, the tentative plan is to stay put in the Motel 6 for a bit while I search. That would cost me almost $1000 for a couple of weeks. I will need to replenish my bathroom hygiene kit. I will need food, and gas. I will need to buy a few things in terms of clothing.

The good news is that I still have a job. So I am budgeting things like food and gas into my regular income. Once I find a place to live, I can probably get by as a minimalist, though a bed would be nice.

Right now I am just seeking some friendly help to get me past the next few weeks and hopefully into a new place as soon as possible.

Update- Stella is staying in her grace of positivity and hope. Her dogs all seem to be calm and her greatest support . As her daughter, I would like to send out a very warm appreciation. THANK YOU, for all that have contributed to her financially, caring phone calls and loving prayers. She is amazed by your generosity and support. Here's what's left of my mamas home... she cared for people and animals here. She offered gifts of love. Helped many upon request, with no questions asked of payment in return. She kept a beautiful home filled with joy, photographs of her grandchildren, mother, father, nieces and nephews. She had beautiful collectibles, original art. She loves her family dearly, always has and always will. ... she supported local, Mexican and Hawaiian artist, jewelers, painters and designers. She always kept a beautiful clean home. Anyone who grew up with me knows.... she's not a taker, never asks for help. I've seen my mother suffer hard with firm lips and pride like no other. Alone. Now's a time to give a little back, so she can rest and focus on what's next to come. She's always taught me that giving feels so much better than receiving. Well mom, it's time for you to feel the gift you've given, you must receive!

Creekside Estates is a retirement community with 60 homes that were destroyed by the Almeda fire that devastated Southern Oregon on Tuesday night. Many of the residents are 80+ years old and barely escaped with the shirts on their backs. Creekside Estates has been in our family for 30+ years and we are completely devastated by the loss, but our thoughts are with the residents who lost everything. Our hope is to provide some relief during this difficult time, many don't have family in the area and our hope is to give them money to get hotels, medications, and the essentials until the full damage can be assessed. Any funds donated will be 100% distributed to the residents who lost their homes and belongings in the fire. Our hearts are heavy today and we know this is a difficult time for everyone and appreciate anything you can spare.

Our Sincerest Thanks,

Niki & Hannah Norton

Hello everyone! My bestfriend just lost her home along with her animals in the fire that occurred the other night in Phoenix. Her and her husband were only home owners for a year and worked very hard. She is a sweet person who has spent years working at the YMCA and was just a recent SOU graduate. We are setting up this account so that her and her husband can get back on their feet. Also if donations could be made with clothing, supplies, etc. that would be great. Ultimately, we need to get them into a home. Please help with as much as you can!

Yesterday, a wildfire devastated my hometown and my parents David and Veronica, and my sister Susie lost their homes and all of their belongings. My family is healthy and safe but unfortunately they have a long road ahead of them in finding new homes and gaining their livelihood back. My dad suffered a major stroke in 2013 and has been unable to work much since then and my sister's husband, the main provider of the family, is a firefighter who's been fighting wildfires in Nevada for the last 3 weeks. Many of you who know my family, know them as humble, hardworking and welcoming. They are hurting right now and asking for help is incredibly hard so I will ask for them. I know we're all struggling in these times but any donations are greatly appreciated. They will be forever grateful and so will I.

We are raising funds for my sweet loving sister in law. As a mother of two, she is just one of many that has unfortunately lost their home and possessions to the devastating Almeda Fire in Southern Oregon on September 8, 2020. Kristin was at work in Ashland when the fire started and was unfortunately unable to get home in Phoenix to obtain any of her possessions (though they were able to successfully rescue their sweet furry pets), and has lost everything.

For those that know Kristin, she would give you everything she had if it would help, but unfortunately she has nothing to give. We know so many are struggling with this devastating fire and are not asking or hoping for much, but, if you are able, please consider helping Kristin raise funds to obtain essential items she may need for her family to rebuild.

Kristin has one of the biggest hearts of anyone I know, so it's not surprising that she herself works at a job that is constantly helping other low income families on a daily basis. She knows how badly people need help and is constantly helping others and is deeply concerned about others suffering as well. With that being said, if you are able, we would further ask that you consider donating to United Way Fire Relief fund ( http://www.unitedwayofjacksoncounty.org/give/) to further help our suffering community.

Any amount is so very much appreciated and our hearts go out to everyone who has lost so much. Sending love to everyone. Thank you!

My beautiful sister in law, niece, nephew, and fur baby.

On Tuesday, Sept. 8th - My sister and I plus her two children (3 years and 2 years) lost our home to the fires in Phoenix, OR. Thankfully we were able to get to the house just in time to save our dogs and a small collection of personal items - everything else was destroyed. We both work very hard full time but are living pay check to pay check and cannot afford to buy/replace many critical items our family needs to live day to day on such short notice. We know there are hundreds of people affected by these fires, but anything you can donate would be a huge help. All funds raised will go towards food, clothing for my sister, her children and myself and hopefully a deposit for a new home.

Hi friends. My best friend Vanessa's mother, grandmother, and two brothers lost their home and all their lifelong belongings in the Alameda fire in Talent, Oregon. The important thing is that they are safe and currently staying with family, but the fire moved so fast that they were only able to escape with the clothes on their back. Their home they owned, and all their belonging was reduced to ashes. It is difficult to set monetary values on lifelong possessions and memories, so the main goal is to just get them into a new place where they can move on from this tragedy.

I have known this family for many years and they are not the type to ask for help. They are hard-working good people, and like many others in our community are now finding themselves homeless. My heart hurts for this family. It would mean the world to not only me, but this family if their is anything that you can donate to help them rebuild what was lost.

The Almeda Fire has devastated most of Talent and Phoenix. Among the devastation, homes were lost and families are still displaced.

One of our troop families lost their home when their entire mobile home park burned to the ground, including the club house our troop has used for years as a meeting location.

Paul, Rian, Haylea and Moses lost almost everything. They are living in their travel trailer and are in need of our support.

Rian has been a leader for our troop for the last 4 years. She is also a CNA at the hospital. Haylea has been a courageous, kind and adventurous Girl Scout, providing friendship to all troop members.

The amount of community service they have provided to others is immeasurable. This is our turn to provide them with support, when they need it most.

My name is Lynda Stephens and I'm creating this 'gofundme page' for my younger brother, David LeRoy. Two days ago, on September 8th, David lost his home and all of his belongings in the Alameda Fire that started in Ashland, Oregon and travelled North towards Medford, Oregon.

David is 59 years old and lived in a mobile home. David's wife died five years ago and these past few years he has lived alone in his home. The mobile home he lived in was quite old and unfortunately he had no insurance on it. As you can imagine, losing your home and everything you own is devastating. In David's case it is compounded by the reality that he does not have the means to replace any of it.

My brother works at a local truck stop. He's worked there for many years now and he loves his job and his customers, but he makes only minimum wage. He was happy as he lives a fairly simple life and didn't have much in the way of needs - until now! My brothers and I are doing everything we can to help him out, but it's not enough. We would like for him to be able to buy a smaller mobile home. Additionally he will also need linens, dishes, appliances, furnishings AND clothing. We are able to provide living room and dining room furniture. He will still need bedroom furniture, a television and a washer and dryer. Cash donations will go a long way to replacing the necessities and providing him shelter.

The picture below is one of many taken in Phoenix, OR, where David lived. Every home in his mobile home park was a total loss. There was another 55+ mobile home park nearby that was also a total loss. So many people are suffering right now, not only in this area, but in all of Washington, Oregon and California due to hundreds of fires.

Our family would like to thank anyone who is able to contribute to this fund to help. There truly are no words that can express our heartfelt appreciation. We sincerely hope and pray that 2021 will be a much better year for everyone!

She was thrilled to buy her Forever Home in the Spring of 2017! "I am never moving again" she said! All her treasures of a lifetime of living and raising a family... Gone. The ornaments for her Christmas Tree that are delighted in each year like a sweet surprise, even though you know what it is... gone. Her photos, electronic devices, the afgan that our grandma made, it too is gone. She is here, and we are all so grateful, but we could use your help! She could use your help!

She has insurance, and that is in the works. The entire town and the next one over from hers, are all gone. All burned in the fire. The impact is huge and the entire community is suffering. So even the best systems are slow moving. Right now she could simply use the following to help her the most:

1) LOVE and COMFORT Support in any shape or form is appreciated.

2) CASH FLOW To garner daily supplies/clothes and pay for the interim living. As a woman on a limited income and living within a tight budget, these extra expenses don't have room to be absorbed into Janyne's life. Currently there are no hotels, and housing may be a challenge as many people are displaced. The comfort of some cash flow would allow her to make a quick decision if something opens up.

3) YOUR ASSISTANCE To Spread the Word! Your help, I know it seems simplistic to say that your contribution could make a difference in her life, but it absolutely can and will. Beyond the dollars, I know that Janyne will feel the love from your donation be it $5, $50, or $500. We will all appreciate it!

We all live in the NW, some of our family in Washington and some in Oregon. We had all been feeling the fires of recent and have been surrounded by smoke for days, but on Tuesday, throughout the NW the winds picked up, and everyone was on high alert for severe fire danger. Watching each others FB feeds, some of our family and many friends in central OR evacuated, some more in the Portland Area,. Then we see that Janyne in So Oregon was also being evacuated! What? Really?

Evacuation notices starting ringing her phone and emergency personnel driving through the 55 and older community she lives in. With an intense urgency, physical mobility challenges and no outside assistance, Janyne was so fortunate to grab her dog Luna, her purse and herself and get out! She did, she is safe... and stunned!

FB and messaging had been going crazy; where is she? did she get out? Finally a post from her daughter, yes, she made it out and is stuck in the lines and lines of evacuees all trying to flee! Finally word that she is safe at her daughters, then, there is the long wait...

Watching FB, and local news feeds for any new information we find the live feed from KOBI TV Medford. They had a camera placed on the hill and could pan back and forth to all the hot spots, they were airing the fire and police scanners simultaneously.

I listened and I watched that live feed. I asked questions to others. This crazy technology that allows me 800 miles away to watch in real time the devastation that was occurring. It was while watching the live feed that I hear the firemen say "We have to let it go", they were talking about the entire community she lived in. My heart sank for her. I ache on her behalf. I am physically too far in distance to be of much assistance, but this, set up a GoFundMe on behalf of my big sis... This I can do! And I hope that you will be able to help me fund the start to her new tomorrow. Thank you all in advance!!!

Phillips Family Lost Everything in Almeda Fire

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Following the Almeda Fire in Jackson County, my mother, Janel, step-father, Donnie, and 12-year-old little brother, Christopher, awoke to a photo of their home reduced to nothing but ash. During their hectic evacuation they were only able to leave with the clothes on their back, and a few items from their home. They have lost everything else in the fire. They are currently staying in a hotel in Medford, OR + are thanking the lord that they are safe and healthy. At this point they are feeling resilient and grateful - but they are literally starting over from scratch.

This family is SO loved. Many have been reaching out and asking how to help, so myself, along with my mom's best friend, Jill Hutchins, and Donnie's best friend, Scott Smith, have come up with a few options!

If you would like 100% of your donation to go to the Phillips family (GoFundMe takes 2.9% of each donation), you can call or visit any Umpqua Bank and make a donation to account #3965315280. The account is under Jill Hutchins who is the C/O for the Phillips Family Fund. You can reach them by phone at (541)367-7070 or (866)486-7782.

If you make a donation to this GoFundMe page, the donation will be directly deposited into their fund after GoFundMe takes out their percentage (2.9%).

Donnie's parents also lived in Phoenix, OR - and lost their home in the fire as well. This family has been hit HARD. Please follow the link below to be directed to their GoFundMe. Anything helps. :

Biscuits & Vinyl Almeda Fire Recovery Fund

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
On September 8th, 2020 the Almeda Fire devastated the communities of Talent and Phoenix, OR. Hundreds of homes and businesses were lost, including our sweet little record store, Biscuits & Vinyl. We are very grateful that our home was spared and that we are safe, but our hearts are aching for our community. The stories are gut wrenching. If you haven't already done so, please consider helping some of the hundreds who have lost their homes and livelihoods in this tragedy.

As for Biscuits & Vinyl, we are fortunate to have had an insurance policy. However, after speaking with the adjuster, we discovered that it is only going to cover about ¼ of the inventory alone. In addition to the inventory, we lost all of the operating equipment that we had invested in over the years. There has never been any doubt in our minds that we are going to rebuild and reopen, but this discovery has left us feeling much less prepared to do so.

We have loved being part of the vinyl community and the special little town of Talent. The outpouring of support from all of you has sent the clear message that not only do you want to see us reopen, but also that you want to help us. We've hesitated to ask for, or accept, anything because there are so many others in such great need around us. However, we realize the joy a community record store brings. We want to be there for all of you again as soon as possible, and in order to do that, we are humbly reaching out.

Our goal is to double what we will receive from our insurance policy. This will allow us to recover less than 50% of what was lost in the store, but it will get us up-and-running and ready to serve you again soon.

We still have a small garage full of backstock and will continue to have new releases for sale. A local property owner has graciously offered a little spot in Talent, right down the street from the shop, to set up a pop-up for both upcoming Record Store Day drops, 9/26 & 10/24. Things are moving along already. We are hopeful!

We miss you all already and are so very grateful to everyone that has reached out! We feel the love and are sending it right back! We hope to see you soon!

Much Love,
Matt, Kat, and Biscuits

Teacher Gwin DeMatteo Lost Her Home in the Almeda/Glendower Fire
As a teacher Gwin has helped countless children throughout our community. She has worked closely with students at risk of violence, dropping out, and becoming homeless in order to help them build a brighter future. But on September 8, 2020, Gwin lost her own home. As the fast-moving flames of the Almeda/Glendower Lane Fire tore through her neighborhood in Phoenix, Oregon, Gwin only had time to grab her beloved kitty before fleeing. Within minutes her home and all of her possessions and memories inside were lost forever.

As friends of Gwin we know that she is always the first person to offer help and the last person to ask for it. We know just how much she has meant and done for every person whose life she touches. But now Gwin needs us. Now Gwin needs our help getting back on her feet.

So much of what Gwin lost in the fire can never be replaced. The photographs of so many friends, the keepsakes from a lifetime of adventures, the memories of her mother. But we can replace the things Gwin needs to rebuild her life. We can get the clothes Gwin needs to get back into the classroom. We can keep a roof over Gwin's head while she recovers from this devastating loss.

We are trying to raise $8000 to help Gwin keep going through this painful time. This money will be used to help Gwin with emergency basic needs and to assist with securing stable housing.

Any help you can provide will make a big difference!

Hello Everyone,

My mom, Johnnie-Kaye Montgomery, and her husband, David Rimmer lost their home in the southern Oregon fires during the week of September 7th, 2020. They live in a little town called Phoenix, OR and there are few people whose homes and businesses did not perish. David and my mom are devastated as they not only lost their home and other valuable items, David also lost the home he shared with his mother (for 15 years) who passed just last year.

I thank God that my mom and David are alive and well; however, they have a long road ahead of them as they will be starting their lives nearly from scratch. They had to quickly evacuate their home with only the clothes on their backs. They are currently staying with generous friends and hope to find temporary housing soon.

This fundraiser has been created for those of you who would like to assist in any way that you feel compelled to do so. The funds will be used for items that insurance may not cover. Please know that whether you choose to donate or not, on behalf of my mom and David, thank you so much for your messages, calls, texts, prayers, love, and unwavering support!!!

My name is Sarah Lindsey. On Tuesday, September 8, 2020, our family's world, including our three-year-old son's, fell apart, as we were unexpectedly evacuated from our home, which was ravaged and destroyed by the horrific Almeda fire, along with our entire neighborhood community, and much of our town of Phoenix, OR.

We grabbed what little we could carry. We are struggling to pick up the pieces and keep a brave face for our son, as our hearts and world are broken.

When I had to tell my son what happened to his home, his face crumbled up as he began to cry, but I told him that, "We are going to find an even better place for us to live, and you can paint your room any color you want!" "Even rainbow?!" he asked. "Even rainbow," I replied.

My son absolutely loves anything tie-dyed, clothing, accessories, toys. He got a tie-dyed backpack recently that made him so excited that he wants to snuggle with it in bed at night.

Any help would be so much appreciated. With our home, belongings, tight knit neighborhood community, and much of Phoenix, OR gone, we are trying our best to figure out what to do for our family to move forward.

From good friend, Aleia Fletcher:

I have known Sarah and her family for several years and met her when we both worked together. She is such an amazing person, full of warmth, kindness, caring, and is absolutely hilarious, bringing so much light into this world with her tremendous sense of humor. My heart breaks for her and her family. Thank you so much for helping to support her and her beautiful family during this incredibly difficult time.

I have never set up a gofundme campaign and these are extraordinary times. Never before have so many people I know lost their homes at the same time. It's overwhelming. My brother lost his home yesterday in the Almeda fire in Southern Oregon. These are trying times for him and my family. My father has been the sole provider for him for many years and this blow feels a bit too much. Any little bit helps to get my brother back on his feet, a roof over his head and cover some basic needs.

I'm trying to raise money for my momma. My mom lived in an apartment complex in Phoenix, Oregon. The Rogue Valley had a horrible fire tear through these small towns and leave devastation in its wake. My mom is the most loving, giving person. She is always the person offering to help when you're in need, no matter the cost to herself. She lost everything in this fire. She lives on a tight budget from social security and there's no way she can get back on her feet without a little help. Please consider giving, any amount would be amazing. Please share this!!! Thank you so much!

Its amazing how quickly a fire seen started only hours before on social media 2 towns away can spread from high winds and take away everything you own. We were never on a citizen alert for evacuations as we didn't know we could sign up for something like that. Finding out from social media posts we went from a possible lvl 1 which very quickly turned into something out of a natural disaster movie. High winds black smoke and explosions in the background with law enforcement driving through the streets yelling for everyone to GO NOW!!! We are a family of 7. Me and my wife and also my mother in law who lost her trailer that was next to our house. We have 4 kids - our Daughter who is 3 and three foster kids (who we can't picture) one is 7 years old one is 3 and an 1 year old. 3 of the 4 are foster kids who came into our home in June with just about nothing and are pretty much back where they started. All the clothes and toys of their own are now all gone. Praying these kids don't have to get moved again but that's up to the state not us. Trying our best to keep them with us as we of course love these kids but to be moved again, start over again would break our hearts. We love them! We were able to grab some clothes and keepsakes but that was it....some. That fire moved so fast and fierce that I needed my wife and kids gone Asap. I kicked them out and sent them on as I gathered all the animals and threw them in the vehicle I was taking. I think we have packed more in one vehicle to go camping than I think we did in the 2 we left with.. So....we could use some help. Yes we have insurance and are in the process with a claim already. We are told they will reimburse up to a certain amount for the time we are out of the house but they can't reimburse what we dont have to spend. Any help whatsoever would be appreciated greatly. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Thank you so much and we greatly appreciate it.

He creado este gofundme para Beto y Vero Medina-Ledezma que perdieron todo debido al incendio de Almeda que ocurrió en Phoenix, Oregón y las ciudades circundantes. Sé que nuestra comunidad ha sufrido una gran pérdida debido a esto, pero cualquier cosa sería muy apreciada, se quedaron sin nada y tuvieron que evacuar lo más rápido possible de sus hogares. Solo estoy tratando de ayudarles a su familia a recuperarse y ojala encontrar un nuevo hogar para vivir. Muchas gracias.

Dave Powell lost his home and all his possessions and tools in the Wildfire that went though Phoenix, OR. Dave sprung into action when he heard of the fires and being the helpful and kind father that he is went to rescue the possessions from his daughters home in Talent, OR, then checked on another friends home and by the time he made it back to his home to rescue possessions he was left with just a few minutes to grab essentials before the need to flee. Unfortunately Dave lot all of his Tools he needs for carpentry work, clothes and all of his art Projects. Dave and his family lost their home to fire in Mt. Shasta 15 years ago so round two is really discouraging. Dave will need help to purchase new tools so he can work, clothes, and all the daily necessities to live. Since it's so hard to know where to start, Money would be the most helpful at this time. Please donate if you can. His family thanks you and feels blessed to have made out alive.

I met Sandra when we were both in high school at Ashland High School. She had just arrived from Mexico, and I was volunteering as a tutor in her ESL class. We were paired together and became friends.

Over the years, I would run into her around Ashland and she was always so sweet and kind. Her daughter ended up in the same class as my niece Ruthie in elementary school, and every time we ran into each other at a play or event at the school, she ran up to me and my sister to say hello and ask how we were doing. My sister went to a birthday party with her, and Sandra was so generous and kind, making sure she had enough food to eat even though they didn't know each other well and couldn't communicate well. She doesn't speak much English so we have only ever communicated in Spanish. It always broke my heart how many people couldn't experience how big her heart was because of the language barrier. Sandra and some of her family members work in the service industry, working hard to serve the community of Ashland and the Rogue Valley, were already greatly affected by the impacts of COVID-19.

On Wednesday, Sept. 9th, 2020, three of Sandra's siblings lost their mobile homes in the horrendous fires that ravaged Phoenix, OR. They lost everything. Ten of her family members, including twelve month old twin girls, are currently living in Sandra's mobile home in Ashland, which was fortunately spared.

Photo credit: Mason Trinca @mason_trinca

Sandra is one of the kindest, sweetest people I have ever met. When I first reached out to her after the fires, her response broke my heart... she said, "Thank you for remembering me". She burst into tears as she described to me the scene the destruction where their homes were burned down to the ground. She shared that when the fires first started, they didn't know what was going on, about the evacuation notices, and couldn't locate one of her brothers for hours. And despite all of this, she offered to drive by and check on my mom's house for me who also had to evacuate.

They have little other family or resources in the area. While we have helped direct them to local disaster relief resources, they are not only reeling from the loss of one home in their family- but three. They are looking to rent an RV for some of the family members, so please let me know if you have any leads on that in southern Oregon. In the meantime, anything you can donate to help with their immediate needs would be so greatly appreciated. Anything raised will go towards a new home for her siblings, as well as immediate needs for her family members who lost everything (clothing, food, etc.).

Thank you so much for your generosity. ❤️

Much like anyone else, I never thought that I would be making a gofundme for my family. However, the time has come to ask for help. My heart breaks for my community in my hometown and the other families that also lost their homes to the devastating Rogue Valley Fires here in Oregon. On September 8th, I received news from my mom that she had been evacuated due to the rapidly approaching fire. The stress of trying to figure out what is worth saving when you only have a few minutes (and want to save everything because it's your home) is immeasurable. When the reality of the race against the flames hit, all my mom could manage to leave with was our pups, Scout and Timber and our pet lizard, Mushu. She drove away with the clothes on her back and our animals, hoping with her whole heart to return home soon. I have seen videos of the fire and could see that where my home once stood was fully engulfed. We lost everything in a matter of moments. The fire burned through our house so hot and so fast that there is nothing but ash in its place - it is completely flattened. My parents lost basic necessities such as clothing, shoes, food, and toiletries but we also lost all of our pictures, family videos, important documents, things from our childhood we were hoping to give to our own babies some day, family heirlooms that were generations old, and items that both my mom and dad had been collecting their whole lives. My dad had an extensive collection of vintage sports memorabilia which had been packed away and was finally about to be displayed since I moved and there was room available. My mom is an artist and unfortunately she also lost all of her supplies, which included hundreds of specially sourced materials, as well as multiple finished/in progress commissions. My parents had recently started to renovate the house to make it how they'd always wanted to have it after my sibling and I moved out to start our adult lives and they had more space to work with. Their vision was just starting to come together and it has all been ripped away. Even without focusing on the items we lost, we lost a home. A place to eat and sleep and feel comfortable. A place full of memories and special moments; my parents got married in our backyard. This home wasn't only ours - many of our friends and family members had stayed with us when they needed a place to call home too. My mom and dad had worked so hard to have a happy and safe place for us to be, sometimes taking on multiple jobs to ensure we could keep it that way. If you have the ability to donate any funds to help my parents get back on their feet and closer to having a home again, it would be so greatly appreciated. They mean the world to me and I just want to do whatever can be done to help give them even half the stability they provided for us. Please also share this so that more people can see it. Every little bit helps. Thank you for taking the time to read this and for anything you're able to do to boost them up.

Relief for Seniors Left Homeless After Almeda Fire

Bear Lake Estates was an active senior mobile home community with 210 homes. The entire community was burned completely to the ground by the Almeda Drive Fire late Tuesday night, September 8, 2020. The residents were forced to evacuate on short notice, most getting out with only the clothes on their backs.

The owner of Bear Lake Estates, Investment Property Group (IPG), has started this GoFundMe with hopes of providing immediate assistance to the residents of Bear Lake Estates as they are in urgent need of shelter, food, clothes, toiletries, etc. Some of the seniors do not have any insurance coverage for their home or their possessions. IPG will be donating $10, 000 directly to the residents in addition to every penny we collect through this campaign. This is an especially hard time as we work to keep everyone safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Here's what Bear Lake Estates looks like after the devastating fire swept through the community.

A lot of my family has lost everything in a matter of hours. My mom, aunt and grandfather have all lost their homes to the Almeda fire, along with 2 pets. They have some clothes, their medications, and some other essentials along with the animals they could save. One thing that is going to be tough is my aunts dog is diabetic and needs insulin and a special diet food. They were able to get some food for now and some insulin to last for a few days. They do have a property out by Jacksonville that they were planning to build on after they sold their homes that were burned. They are hoping to get a 3 bedroom mobile home to put on the property so they will at least have something. We understand that so many people have lost from this horrible tragedy, and wish there was enough money to help everyone. Anything you are able to donate is greatly appreciated.

Recently an amazing teacher and good friend of mine got a chance to rebuild after many years of heartache, but that was all shattered by the Phoenix/talent fire that destroyed so much. Jessica and her husband are both cancer survivors and though they beat the odds - they were still left with a massive amount of medical debt. They attempted to rebuild by selling their family home - but in order to sell it they had to put money into it. They spent every cent they had including making the sacrifice to sell their wedding rings for extra money, and they were almost to the finish line, however the day of the signing their house was destroyed by this terrible fire that swept through our community and with it their hope to rebuild. The reality is that this tragedy puts them at a bigger financial hardship than they had and now are unable to launch their new beginning.

I cannot express how much Jessica has done for her friends during this horrible tragedy and for her community - she has also done so much to help her students and coworkers she is beyond selfless and really needs us to come together and help her and her family now. Please consider donating to this wonderful family!

On September 6th, my brother Gabriel moved into his new apartment. On September 8th, it burned to the ground in the Jackson County fires in Southern Oregon. Even after losing most of his possessions, he and his two beautiful children have been figuring out how to help others currently affected by the fire. His insurance wont even cover his video gear which he uses for pro bono work in his community. Many of you are asking how to help, and although no one likes to ask for financial assistance, I think Gabriel is the perfect candidate to receive a helping hand from his community, his loved ones, and whoever wants to have a more direct impact on the people affected by these fires. He's always been a helper. Now it's time to help him. Love you all!!

Last night my parents, Doug and Janet, lost their beloved home of over 30 years (and all of their belongings) in the fast-moving Alameda wildfire that tore through Phoenix and surrounding towns. Our family is heartbroken, but we are so thankful they are safe. The heavy task of rebuilding their lives will be immense, and many immediate costs such food, gas (for trips between Klamath Falls and Phoenix) replacing clothing and personal items, and all the unforeseen expenses that come along with being displaced from their home will add up quickly. Even a $5 donation would help. My parents are never ones to ask for help, and I know they would be so very appreciative of any and all financial assistance. Please keep our family in your prayers as we help them navigate this new "normal". Thank you ♥️

Help the Dillemuths Rebuild, organized by Heidi Cronin

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Last night my parents, Doug and Janet, lost their beloved home of over 30 years (and all of their belongings) in the fast-moving Alameda wildfire that tore through Phoenix and surrounding towns. Our family is heartbroken, but we are so thankful they are safe.

My aunt and uncle Annie and Marty Raven have had such an unbelievably hard year. During a vacation in Hawaii a few years ago, Marty suffered a life-altering stroke that forced him into early retirement from his job as a trucker that he loved. He is a man that has always been able-bodied and passionate about hard work and this was a devastating loss that has been isolating and challenging in ways that I can't imagine. He also lost his ability to ride motorcycles, a passion that him and Annie share. They were married on the back of a motorcycle in 2013. Marty had a 3 wheeler Spyder that accommodated his issues with mobility and still allowed him access to the freedom of the road that riding a motorcycle gave him. Annie has stood by in support all throughout this journey, a beacon of love and care and selflessness unlike any other person I have ever known. Marty and Annie were also housing and taking care of Annie's uncle Robert as he ages, trying to give him the best quality of life possible in his twilight years. He is about to celebrate his 86th birthday.

On September 8th their home burned to the ground in the Almeda fire that leveled Phoenix, Oregon, where they lived. The Spyder was lost along with countless other irreplaceable keepsakes and memories. The three of them are lucky to be safe from the fires but they have suffered a devastating loss that we have not quite had time yet to comprehend.

These are some of the most resilient people I have ever known. Annie has always managed to find joy in all of the darkest places in a way that amazes me. This woman gives and gives and gives and now is our chance to give back to her and Marty.

They have shown such strength and tenacity this year just to have everything taken away in an instant.

I have seen these people shoulder the weight of so much loss. Everything Annie had left of her son that is no longer with us was also lost in the fire.

Please, if you are able, do what you can to help my aunt and uncle. I want them to be able to find housing, but also to replace the Spyder bike that Marty loved so much and also to be able to afford accommodations for Marty and Robert's issues with mobility. Whatever we can do to lighten the load they are bearing right now, no matter how small, is invaluable. It would mean the world to me and countless other people who love them.

My son, Dylan, is one of the hardest workers I've ever known. He didn't have much, a small trailer in a park in Phoenix, several instruments, and some classic cars he's been working to restore, but he's worked hard for all of it. Tuesday night, those, along with all his personal possessions, were completely destroyed by the Alameda Fire. He's currently without a home, staying with me in our small 3 bedroom home. If anyone feels led, or is able to help Dylan rebuild the life he's been working so hard for, it would be greatly appreciated. We're praying for all those impacted by these horrific events in our beautiful hometown and the first responders working tirelessly to protect us ❤️

Thank you to everyone who wants to be involved, any assistance is greatly appreciated. My sister in law & her family lost their home last night and everything they own in the talent fire. Unfortunately they were unable to retrieve any of their belongings and they are going to need a lot of help to get back on their feet. I am making this GoFundMe now in hopes that we can help make this transition a little easier and safer for them and their kids. If you would like to be a part of this, or help in any way, you can donate any amount you can above. Any donation would be helping them out gravely. My heart goes out to anybody effected by the fires. Thank you, all.

Please help if you can! Our cousin Emily and her 3 beautiful children just lost their home and all of their belongings in the Almeda wildfire that is currently ravaging southern Oregon. Emily has been working in the healthcare industry for years and is always taking care of everyone else. Now she is the one that needs help. It has been a rough year for everyone in general, but Emily and her family have faced multiple challenges just within the last couple of months and now this tragedy adds even more stress. Emily is a single mom of Liam (9 yrs), Winston (7 yrs) and Molly (4 yrs). She is the sole provider for her family. They had just recently moved into their new home in Talent, Oregon and were just starting to get settled in. Emily has also had surgery recently and will be continuing treatments. This family will be starting over and needs our help. They will need many essential things now while they are displaced and trying to work through everything. Once they have secured a new home again, they will then need more household items. We understand that this is a difficult time for many people especially with all the added losses being experienced recently, but our family would be grateful for any amount of help that you are able to send their way. We are hoping to get some help to them as soon as possible. Every little bit will help this family to get their feet back under them. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Please share this. We appreciate any help for them!

A few days ago, the Englehart Family tragically became one of the manyvictims who lost their entire home and belongings to the Alameda Fire. This is the devastating fire that has spread from Ashland, to Talent, and into Phoenix , OR which they have called HOME for over 20 years. To those who have reached out with love and support with the desire to give as this family rebuilds a new home from the beginning, a gofundme account has been created in their name.
"We want to express from the bottom of our hearts our gratitude to have your love and support through such an unforeseen and tragic event. At the time of evacuation, neither Tim, Magnolia, or Sharon were allowed back into Phoenix to retrieve Lucy and Andrè. We want to thank the kind neighbor that brought the two of them to safety with us during her very own evacuation, wherever yo u may be as well. Thank you to everyone who has offered to help, donate, and most importantly, pray for such a tragic loss. We appreciate anything and everything, big or small, whether through here or in supplies/clothes/household items for our future home. We know MANY family homes have been lost as well and ask if anything, that we ALL be lifted in your prayers. God Bless!!! The Engleharts- Tim, Lucy, Magnolia, Sharon, & Andrè.

Hi everyone, our grandparents, Paulette and Don Hendrickson lost their Talent, OR home in the Almeda fire that ripped apart the Rogue Valley. They lost all of their belongings to the fire, including their motorhome and truck. With little notice, our grandma prioritized getting our family photo albums and memories of her ancestors over other material things (e.g. electronics, jewelry, clothing, etc.). They are safe and we are grateful! But now they will need to rebuild and survive on a fixed income and little reserves. We are hoping to get them enough to help them with the inconceivable costs to make it through the next several months. We know many families have been affected by the fire and our heart hurts for them all! As for our family, anything will help! Thank you all very much, and stay safe!!

Hi, Friends... Tracy Finklang here...Our friend Vanessa and her family, Bryce and Alex, lost everything in the Almeda fire on Tuesday. They literally escaped with just the clothes on their backs. Their home is flattened, 4 cars torched, and one cat missing, one grabbed, and one found in the area. They have to start over from nothing. They are dear friends to me, and have helped me in so many ways, both back in Colorado, when I met Vanessa in 1997 through Mile Hi, and since we both ended up here in a completely random coincidence when I moved to Oregon in 2015; now they need my/our help. All monies raised will go directly to them to purchase basic necessities, let alone put their lives back together. It's been the worst year ever for many of us, but we still have our homes. Vanessa, Bryce and Alex don't. Imagine that. It breaks my heart. Please contribute what you can, no matter how small.

On Tuesday, September 8, Sandy and Doug Gilbert received notice that the Almeda fire, which started that morning in nearby Ashland, Oregon, was carving a path of destruction directly toward their home in Medford, Oregon. With barely enough time to pack a few personal items in a bag, they fled to safety, leaving nearly all of their possessions behind.

Their escape from the fire was harrowing, with fire surrounding the highway on both sides; they didn't even have time to fill up their gas tank before they fled. After arriving to their niece's apartment in north Medford, they soon had to evacuate from there as well because a new fire ignited nearby threatening that neighborhood. Departing again late that evening, they arrived safely to their daughter's house--some 150 miles to the North in Springfield, Oregon--around 2 a.m. However, the news from back home was utterly devastating. The fire tore directly through the community where they lived, and not a single home was left standing. All personal possessions, photos, priceless family mementos, their home (which they just recently purchased and renovated to carry them into retirement), and the car they had left behind ... were all lost.

Sandy and Doug are humble, selfless people, and while they would never ask for assistance themselves, we know that they will need as much help as we can give to get them back on their feet during this devastating time. All funds donated will be used for new clothing, toiletries, and food to help them survive in the short-term, while in the long-term the funds will be used to help them find a new place to live, and replace their personal possessions to the extent possible. Even goods such as furniture, appliances, etc., would be useful if they're already located in the Southern Oregon area.

We know that an insurance claim will take time to come as thousands in that area were left homeless because of the fire, so Sandy and Doug will need assistance from their family and friends during this unbelievably difficult time.

This fundraiser has been set up by Sandy and Doug's kids, who love and care about them so much.

My son, Parker(7), and his dad, Josh, lost everything in the Alameda fire in Phoenix, OR. Their world was turned upside down on Tuesday September 8th when their home, and everything in it, was burned to the ground. Parker and his dad stayed at their residence in Phoenix until local law enforcement told them to leave. Parker is 7 years old and the happiest kid in the world. His dad and my ex-husband, Josh, loves spending time with Parker at home making YouTube videos, riding bikes and doing all the other fun things a father and son would do. That is all at a standstill for them, as they now have to rebuild their lives from the ground up. Please consider helping if you can. They have a long road ahead of them. As a mom, it is gut wrenching to watch my son go through this grieving process at such a young age. His dad has stayed strong for Parker, but will need help in any way possible. All funds donated will be used to find housing and essentials while they wait for insurance money. Money given will also help to buy new "things" to fill their temporary home with so that Parker and Josh can continue to have more Father/Son moments together.

My dear friend Lisa Robin lost everything on Tuesday in the devastating fire that ripped through our community. Like thousands of other people she only had a short time to throw things in her car and get out. She has been a teacher for many years both in Kent Washington and the Rogue Valley. She is currently a Social Studies/ Leadership teacher at Phoenix High School and is already putting plans in motion to help many of her students that lost everything as well. She would never ask for people to donate to her rebuilding her world, so I am doing it for her. Please share this post and donate if you can. Let's support this amazing lady and help support her through this unimaginable time.
All money raised will be used for housing, daily living expenses and basic needs. Thank you!

My step-sister, Ashley, lost all her belongings when her home was destroyed by a wildfire this week. Although she has a temporary place to stay, she'll need to find permanent housing and replace everything she owned. That's overwhelming on its own, but she's also a teacher who started the new school year in a Covid-style virtual classroom the day before her home was destroyed. Needless to say, she has a lot on her plate right now. If you're able to ease her burden with a financial contribution toward her fresh start, it would be a blessing. For the sake of getting the fundraising started as quickly as possible in the aftermath of her loss, donations are being automatically deposited into my checking account, then immediately transferred to her. She and I are both comfortable with this arrangement and are in regular communication about details.

Kind Friends,

This fundraiser is to support Thomas and Ariana Perkins who lost their home to the wildfires sweeping through southern Oregon.

On September 8th, my twin sister and her husband were notified their neighborhood was being evacuated and were unable to return home to save any of their belongings. The only things they have left are the clothes they wore and what they took with them to work that day.

With no renter's insurance, the road to recovery will be difficult. This is a heavy loss and I am deeply saddened for my twin's family.

Please consider a donation of any number to help them get back on their feet. Even $10 could buy a meal or a shirt.

If you have gift cards, clothing, coupons, anything you want to mail/donate or questions, please reach out to myself, Chase Smith.

All funds raised go directly to Thomas and Ariana Perkins.

Yesterday (September 9th, 2020) a wildfire sprang up and ripped through multiple towns in Southern Oregon. My parents own a cattle ranch off of Butte Falls Hwy. This ranch has been in their family for decades, being apart of their everyday life, work, etc.
One of the many fires quickly caught wind, raging through their property, claiming their home, barn, shop, destroying everything they owned. Some of the family was on the property not thirty minutes before the fire made it to their home. They had to evacuate in a frantic race, not knowing how fast the fire would travel.
Everyone was able to make it safely off the property.
We, as a family, are completely devastated for our parents. Not only did they lose the ranch they cherished and lived on, but also their second property with their grandparents cabin.

We are asking for help to rebuild their beloved home, ranch and all that was lost.

With deepest thanks, we are so grateful for any help given. This is a very shocking time for the family, but we know we will get through this and come out stronger. Rogue Valley Strong!

Thank you again,
The Bateman kids

This beautiful goofball and her family lost their home in Talent in the Almeda Fire along with most of their belongings. They are a family of 6 with two beautiful human children and 2 beautiful fur children. They truly are the most wonderful spirits, with open hearts. They are my chosen family and they really need helpto start rebuilding. They are safe and have a place to stay.

I have been blessed to know this family from engagement to marriage to kids and beyond. Jodie and Rob are deeply connected to their community and spent so much time and effort into their home and family.

All donations will go toward food, clothes, dog food and anything else they need during this awful time.
