Hi Everyone,
Here is a report about my sister Kathy and her family.
Last week I put the word out that they had lost their home to the Santa Cruz
Mountain Wildfire and many of you contacted me with words and offers
of help. I forwarded your words and intention to help along to her and it was greatly
appreciated by her and her husband. They have lost nearly everything but their spirits are
amazingly high in spite of the devastation. Your community spirit, compassion and commitment
have gone a long way. I am personally very inspired and grateful.
They have connected with emergency services for immediate needs and are staying with our mom
in San Jose. Thank you, Brent
