We lost everything in the fire in Paradise, CA

Thank you, dear friends.  We did not think that we would be in the position to ask anyone for financial help.  I went to Mass on Thursday morning and came out to find that the town was being evacuated.  Mike and I live with Elizabeth, our daughter, who has severe, rare health issues. The fire was burning an equivalent of 80 football fields a minute so we left with the clothes on our back.  We have lost the main house, Elizabeth's small separate house, and a lifetime of memories.  I had many rare, museum quality Catholic antique treasures including a large statue of Our Lady of Fatima, St. Joseph, monstrance, chalices, ciborium's, over 30 relics, including true documented relic of the True Cross, and many other rare religious items. Most of these things were entrusted to me by a close friend and priest. Mike lost all his tools for carpentry and automobile work and also 2 classic cars.  As difficult as it is, nothing is as important than our lives.  We are so blessed in this moment of despair because of the great Love and
Mercy that pours from the Heart of Jesus.  And we say over and over, Jesus, I place my trust in you!
Thank you  and God bless you,

Mike, Carol, and Elizabeth Hemphill
