Renouf Fire Relief fund

As most of you already know our amazing friends, the  Renouf's,  lost their home in the CZU Complex Fire in the Santa Cruz mountains last week. They are devastated  & overwhelmed.  Some of you received an email asking for donations to their venmo account.  People have been having issues with that, so Alan asked if we could switch to a GOfundme account.  If you have already donated, we are so grateful.  If you have not, and want to, this is the best way to go about it for now. 

Right now they are in a temporary hotel until they can find a rental in Santa Cruz which will be very difficult due to the 70K evacuees currently displaced in Santa Cruz County.

James (18) has just started college remotely at their hotel, and Olivia (15) is due to start high school soon and poor William (2) is very unsettled.

I spoke with Alan & Elizabeth and they so appreciate all the love & support & offers to help. They are so overwhelmed at the moment and don’t even know what they need. Right now this GoFund me seems to be the most tangible way to help them.

As you know there will be new needs daily & as things come up I will definitely reach out. Please reach out to me if you need confirmation or concerned this is a fraudulent site.  I know this family very well, they were evacuated with us in Scotts Valley until we were all evacuated together. 

Thank you all for being such a loving supportive community. Please pass this on.
