Everyone has a story…
Your Camp Fire Survivor story could help someone else with theirs.
We are in this together, Butte Strong.
Your experience is real, valid, and powerful. No matter where you live in Butte County, you have been affected by the Camp Fire. So many have lost so very much. Others know someone that lost homes, pets, cars and even loved ones. This is a place to share those stories. This is a place of hope, healing and sharing among neighbors, friends and family.
Thank you for sharing.
The stay-at-home order due to COVID-19 has been hard but much required. I pray you are all safe and healthy. I appreciate all that show respect for others by obeying the order. Thank You! Slowly, Paradise and the surrounding areas are continuing to change, evidence of new homes are spotted around in many places. We are SURVIVORS! We will get through this like we have so many other things.
