That is a great thing that the community has raised enough for free hotel stays. For like Hurricane Katrina how people came together to help one another through the rough times, that what I feel should happen here. It already is starting to with the hotel stays, but that is just for a few nights, that some families might need more help than that.

With hurricanes, some families might be able to grab a few things that they recovered but with a fire families could lose everything that are in their houses. Not being able to do anything because everything was lost. It is a tragic thing to hear about but with communities coming together and other people donating could help a lot.
