Oct 2017

Her rental house burnt to the ground. No renters insurance either. She is devastated.

I feel so bad for her, I was already going to visit her this weekend and now will take her shopping, all her work clothes gone, its so beyond.

I had my younger daughter set up gofundme for her.

Her house was in Santa Rosa near the fountain grove area, two hotels there burnt also and many homes.
