The stories of these survivors break my heart. The effects of the #CampFire didn't fade. They are long-lasting. While the Ridge is rebuilding, many survivors are still lost and struggling and have nowhere to go. Please give this story a read. Not for me. For them.
Of the 684 households placed into FEMA housing in Butte County as a result of California’s deadliest wildfire on record, 77 remain in such locations.
Now they’re running out of time. FEMA is permanently closing its disaster housing on Sept. 13.

I met Eric years ago and interviewed him for a story. The last time I saw him, a few months ago, he was outside the Co-op. I bought him some crackers and soup and we chatted. His death, and the circumstances, break my heart.
