On Nov. 8, 2018 the Camp Fire tore its way through rural areas of Northern California. Paradise, CA was devastated by the fire, taking 85 lives (an additional 11 on the missing list), nearly all of its residential and commercial buildings and displacing the 27,000 people of Paradise, CA.
Most of these 27,000 people have not yet been allowed to return to their homes and most have no structure to return to.
I (Ms. Cori Wall Mee) am from Paradise, CA. I was the fourth generation of my family in Paradise. My Great Grandmother, Virginia Cosgrove, helped build the Paradise Ridge Senior Center; my Grandparents, Fred and Joanne Cosgrove, helped build the Paradise Performing Arts Center and were co-founders of the Paradise Symphony; the Cosgrove family, my mom and aunt, also own and operates the local mortuary and have been part of the Rotary Club of Paradise for nearly 60 years.
It will be people like my family who will stay and rebuild Paradise.
I am asking for monetary donations which I will donate to
ParadiseStrong.org
to help my hometown rebuild.
100% of the donations made to Paradise Strong will directly benefit the Town of Paradise
Thank you for your support!
