Update Nov. 12:
A GoFundMe account was created by Jacob Harris to help family members who lost their home to a fire in Paso Robles early Wednesday morning. The fundraiser has a goal of $5,000. Harris writes:
A very dear friend and co-worker along with her partner lost their home to a structure fire in Paso Robles early morning, 11/11/2020. Thankfully everyone inside the home made it out safely in time. The home itself is, to quote the fire department, “a total loss”. The blaze escalated too quickly for the fire department to save anything but the neighboring houses (which is a miracle in itself). They lost everything! They are truly wonderful people and I can’t begin to imagine how difficult a time this must be for them! Any help we can provide would be greatly appreciated. Let’s Share, donate or even just send some words of support! Anything helps! Let’s help them get back on their feet.
