Quilts For Camp Fire First Responders Paradise California

There is nothing more that I can say at this time, but please HELP!! 

Please consider reaching out to a first responder family with a quilt, it is such an act of love.

Right now I have an immediate need for quilts for 3 young people in a family of 9 all the others have been covered and I know I have quilters out there that can help.

NEEDS:

1 Lime Green Minecraft Theme (if possible) if NOT, the Lime Green is important for a 6 year old young man.

1 Yellow and Orange quilt for a 12 year old young man

1 Red, Gray and White quilt for a 16 year old young lady.

Come on quilters, I know you are out there as well as crocheters and I know you have enough stash to reach into your heart and put something together for one of these 3.

The quilts do NOT come to me, they would go directly to the family in need, it saves doubling up on the postage.

If you can do this, please send me an email with Paradise Quilts in the top line to:

This family lost everything while there dad kept the plans and trucks going during the fire, I think they deserve something to call their own!

Camp Fire of California

It is with sad news I report that my own 84 year old step dad lost his home to the Camp Fire in Paradise, CA. We are blessed he is safe and staying at my brothers home until he decides where he wants to go.

In the meantime, many fire fighters and their families, law enforcement families, dispatchers, ambulance drivers and other first reponders and working daily while having no more home for their families to return to.

I am so overwhelmed by all of this, reading their stories and wanting to help.

Please, I know the holidays are upon us, but think about what you can do with quilts to help those that help us!

The photo below is of my step dad's garage, I do not have any of his home at this writing!

Thank you
