I wished there was something I could do to help you out B. Glad you were at least able to get out with your life. Hopefully as the smoke settles, you’ll get some aid and at least temporary shelter. I can’t imagine losing a home in an event like that. I’ve been up close to some of these wildfires over the years and hope I never have to deal with that again. Keep posting your status if you’re able to.
Please keep us posted so we can help.
You have my earnest prayers!
Thank God for your son’s call.
Glad you have your kitty.
This is horrible. Praying that you will get the help you need.
A Go Fund Me page would seem appropriate or paypal - but I don’t have any idea how those things work.
I think Hildy is getting the ball rolling on that.
Good Lord!
You have our prayers!
Glad you and the kittie are Ok but I am so sorry for your losses.
Hugs & so thankful you & your baby got out safely. I also would like to help.
I am SO sorry to hear this, but so thankful you/kitty are okay.
My heart and prayers go out to you and this terrible situation.
Please keep us posted and let us know if there’s anything we can do to help.

I am so sorry, AuntB. You certainly don’t deserve this, nobody does.
Anything a Tennessean can do to help, feel free to ask...
“local transient” that in it self don’t make much sense. People are sick.
May the Lord watch over you and bless you. Amen.

I’m so sorry to hear this, you poor sweetheart! I’ll be praying for you. Stuff can be replaced, you can’t. I hope you are safe now.
AuntB, I am so sorry to hear of your devastating fire loss. Please post back if there is any way to get help to you. Do you have paypal?
Since Trump issued the Conflagration Emergency order, perhaps there will be help for many who lost their houses.
I will pray for you.
OMG - glad you’re out and safe... you’re in my prayers.
It's not like the city. Getting the word out to everyone is nye impossible. There are properties spread all over the valley and hillsides. They are both so small (Phoenix pop. 4,650 and Talent, pop. 6500) that they don't have many resources, equipment or staff to handle large, devastating disasters like this without help from the state and federal government.
The Harry and David fruit company and a lot of their orchards are in Medford and Phoenix. Their pear orchards used to surround my farm. They are probably burnt to the ground now.
These little towns will take decades to recover if they ever do. There is not much of an economy there except timber receipts and much of that has now gone up in smoke.
So sad.
Praying for you.
You are Courageous!!! You are safe!!
We are here for you with prayers and support.
Mercy
Thank God that you and Bugs got out okay.
I will pray that you find proper lodging and help.
keep me informed, okay?
