I would like to publicly thank Plumfund, and all who made this amazing event happen. I brought my mother, who had lost everything in the Valley Fire...your generosity, kindness, direct donation to her, food, drinks, massage!, dancing and overall sense of community blew us away and brought tears to our eyes. I feel blessed to be part of such a community of support. Please use Plumfund for any fundraising/crowdfunding..they are an amazing local business who truly treasures community...in gratitude, Jenny

Only 32 tickets left to this local event #ValleyHope this Friday in Sebastopol. Family friendly. 100% of the proceeds go to the victims of Valley Fire. Come get your drink and dance on!

Now nine days after the fire, residents of Hidden Valley Lake and Middletown are returning, some to sort through rubble in hopes of finding anything left unburned. We're saying a prayer for everyone affected and encouraging folks to give to this campaign at this crucial time.

From a victim: "My home on Donkey Hill Rd [Hidden Valley Lake] was completely destroyed. Myself and tenant had to leave while watching the front of the house being consumed with fire. In minutes it had gotten out of control and had no time to gather anything except the dog. She worked out of the house and lost everything she needs to run her business. "

Hi Curtis! I recommend lovelakecounty.org to find out about volunteering. Another option is to donate to this fund and all proceeds will directly benefit victims. Thank you and the players for your generosity!

Curtis Gorath — 8 years ago
