EMERGENCY fund raiser for a family that lost EVERYTHING to a wild fire fueled by high winds in NE
This is my youngest daughters family. They only have a small policy for the damages. They lost over 1.5 million in several businesses. It was an organic farm. They also had a solar business.
They were not home when the fire hit. One volunteer firefighter lost his life. They got out with the clothes on their back and one vehicle. I'll be here for the next few hours to answer questions.

all the damned time, and it's a crying shame. 
I'll send something along, Steve. 
We're all in this together.
