Nhat Tam Charity, a local San Jose charity founded by a group of professionals in Silicon Valley has raised over $38,000 for the fire victims at Paradise. During the week of Thanksgiving, Nhat Tam Charity members drove to the devastated town and handed out $50 Target Gift Card to each victim. All money raised were given directly to the victims
The fire storm totally destroyed the small town in its path. It burned 12,000 homes to the ground and left 24,000 people homeless. Also there are still hundreds of people missing from the fire along with 84 known deaths.
Both local and federal governments have established valuable assistance to help the victims. People from all over the countries are donating essential supplies. Pallets after pallets are in storage waiting to be distribute as need. However, according to officials, cash donations and gift cards are the most important right now.
