Family needs our help.

This is what is left of Sid and Sallie's (Mom) back house. The family that lived here, Armondo and Amanda caretook the property and fed the animals. They have two small kids.

This is some of the corrals, smoldering poop..........the house that burned stood just behind the Eucalypus trees in the back of the picture.

The Kawasaki Mule that was parked in Armondo's driveway.

Looking back from where the fire came from.
Sam and Kathy their friends and neighbors also lost their home.

Another view of the house looking back toward the trees. Sid and Sallie's main house sits up behind the barn you can see behind the trees. It was in a big clearing and was saved.
Sallie's sister, Aunt Donna is trying to get a collection together for Armondo and Amanda, the caretakers. He is a landscaper and a damn hard worker. Honest as the day is long. He lost all his landscaping equipment that was in the garage in addition to everything that was in the house. Donna is collecting whatever we can to help get them back on their feet. Gift cards to Walmart, Target, groceries, ect. If you prefer to write them a check please make it out to Donna Phipps (we are not sure Armondo has a checking account) it can be sent to
POB 3265, Quartz Hill, Ca. 93586. I can assure you these people are honest and Armondo and Amanda will get anything sent for them. Donna gave me permission to post all her info. Her number is (661)943-3078 if you have any questions call her or me. I plan to head out to collect some checks that have already been offered and Thank you to those people!
