October 8
For today I’m resharing my Gracias post from the early days of the fire’s aftermath. I’m still at a loss for words to communicate my deep gratitude to all who’ve supported. But this comes close. If you’ve donated to me recently please read and know that every day families and I continue to feel the miracle and love you are sharing with us. After a full day of meeting families yesterday, the profound grief and gratitude continue to be side by side. Muchísimas Gracias ♥️🙏♥️

And deep gratitude to our lunch team of drivers coordinated by Colleen Mara Gibbs .
