#fmmfire

hello my friends of tumblr! I am hosting a fundraiser for the evacuees of Fort McMurray. I live in Alberta, fortunately not near many of the fire zones. We did have some areas that were questionable for fire risk, but since it wasn't our main household, we weren't too concerned. ( Safety over belongings, right?) Unfortunately, Fort McMurray is pretty well burning to the ground. The fire is currently 2million+km in size. ( 1560km squared. ) It's still suspected to double by the end of today. They're seeing rain, but we aren't sure if it's enough rain. In the meanwhile a lot of Albertans are giving assistance, or donating to red cross or family friends. I am hosting commissions with the intent to donate to both to Red Cross, or vital supplies such as diapers, blankets, clothes, etc for the Evacuation Shelters. Another place that the money is being sent to is a to a friend's brother who's house burnt down ( he has 2 young daughters. They're currently staying with family but we intend to gift them some cash to be able to use for misc expenses.) Me and my friend Alex, her boyfriend ( who's brother is mentioned above), will be documenting all donations and receipts as needed. All donations from May 8th to May 25th will be donated either way. Information for commissions are here:  http://fav.me/da1tv24 You are more than welcome to contact me VIA Tumblr, Deviantart, or email! email is : [email protected]  Any questions are preferrably to my email so that I respond in good time to you!

I wonder if the forest I grew up in has been engulfed in flames yet. I wonder if my favourite park has been bent and deformed with heat yet. I wonder if my house (dear god how much I hated that house) has been destroyed yet. I wonder if all the people I stopped talking to made it out safe.
