Each year thousands are displaced by wildfires and this year is proving to be the same. The Carr Fire in Redding, CA has destroyed over 800 structures and displaced hundreds of families. Ashlee made it her mission after the Angora Fire in S. Lake Tahoe in 2007 to help the littlest victims of these disasters. Her father is often fighting the fires that she is helping. This year her younger siblings joined in as the power of partnering is impressive but when you partner with siblings nothing is impossible.
We are in need of monetary donations, new toys, clothes, backpacks & sports equipment. We also need donation help for transportation up to Redding on August 11, 2018.
