Tara-John-Harry Fire Recovery Fund

Donation protected
Tara, Johnny, and Harry lost everything in the Redwood Complex fire outside of Ukiah the other night. As in, EVERYTHING EVERYTHING.  They barely made it out alive and frankly the tale is quite harrowing. While they are physically okay and grateful to be alive, they need our help to get them through this aweful time in their lives.

Harry just turned five a couple weeks ago, and surely all his possessions and gifts were lost in the fire, along with his beloved kitty. Experiecing this great loss as a young child is unimaginable. 

I think the shock of the experience is still setting in and they will surely need some time to literally sift through the rubble and decide what to do next. In the meantime, they need our help.

Please give what you can to their Go Fund Me and spread the word on their behalf.  They literally fled with only  the pajamas on their back and need to buy the most basic of essentials to get through the immediate aftermath of this disaster--socks, underwear, food, and other basic necessities. 

I know they are temporarily sheltered in a hotel until they can return to their property to see if any mementos can be salvaged. They don't have a functional mailing address at this time, nor do they have space beyond the confines of their cars to store accumulated possessions. As such, what they really need right now is a little money to see them through.

This is a beautiful family, and Harry is an amazing young boy. Please, please, give what you can.


P.S. To avoid fraud, Go Fund Me has asked that I tell you who I am. My name is Andrea Hilton, and I am a friend of the family. My son Reed was born shortly after Harry and the two boys became fast friends when the family still lived in Willow Creek. While I now live in Eureka, our sons have maintained their friendship despite the distance between them.
