Watching this video brought a tear to my eye and a whole new perspective on the severity of this tragedy. You don’t realize how massive this thing was when seeing it from your window or driving by on the road.
I wish there was a video similar to this that could capture the way our community stepped up and really pulled together as a community to help everyone in need. Colorado is a great place to live and Colorado Springs is full of wonderful people and wonderful spirit.
Thank you to everyone who fought the fires, kept the city going, volunteered, donated or even just managed to wipe a tear and encourage a smile during these past few days.
This video shows the beginning of the fire. They are still out there fighting, there are still people in need. We may not be able to see anymore smoke from our windows but there’s still help to be given. Here’s a great list from
ColoradoMoms.com of various ways we can help out and continue to help these brave men and women who saved our city.
Another great way to help comes from a local group of professionals who came up with a great idea to raise money to aid the situation.
WildFireTees.com has created a bunch of t-shirts relating to the Waldo Canyon wildfire and are donating the money to help support those fighting the blaze.
You can buy one of their shirts for yourself or buy one for one of the firemen fighting this fire.
Even the younger generagtion can get involved and donate to support Colorado when they buy some music.
Claymore Disco, a local Colorado Springs band is giving all of their proceeds until July 4th to the Colorado Red Cross.
I will update this blog as I find new ways to get involved and help not only fight this fire in Colorado Springs but to help put out all of the fires in Colorado.
If you’ve heard of a great way to get involved please put it in the comments and I’ll add it to the list.
Thank you again, to the community of Colorado Springs and the men and women who are fighting this fire. You’re in our hearts and our prayers.
