Have you heard on the news what is going on in California?  With all the dry winds and the wild fires going on around here these last couple of days, it has been quite mayhem.  Schools districts are closed down, businesses are closing early, and trying to get anywhere is not an easy task.  I feel for the people who are being uprooted out of their homes in the middle of the night, having to run out with the clothes on their back.  I've seen newscasters watching their homes burn as they report it live on television.  It has been quite a moving experience and I feel compelled to do something. 

I live in Huntington Beach, Ca and we haven't been hit with the fires, but you can sure smell them and see them in the air.  We are being advised not to go outside, for breathing air is at this time is unhealthy.  When you turn on the TV it is on every channel.  Thousands of people are being affected and some have no place to go.  What a frightening time for these people.  We need to pull together and do something.  I will be donating items for the Red Cross to take over to help these victims.  I hear they need blankets, towels, clothes, etc.  How scary to be faced with this situation that is out of your control.  To loose everything you have worked a lifetime to achieve. 

These victims are going to need a place to live, and that is where we realtors come in.    Do you have a client who is looking to unload items they no longer want, need or use?  Remember these people are going to have to start all over.  They will need appliances, furniture, etc.  What can you do to help?  We sure could use it!
