Caldor Fire victim Aid, California

The intensity and frequency of wildfire activities in the US has been changed over decades specifically in the west, as conditions become hotter and drier due to climate change.  Predominantly, extreme high temperature and strong wind are the two factors of wildfires as many Californians are experiencing this dire situation in the last several months.  Many people lost their lives, homes, personal properties, and sadly became homeless!  As you may know the recent Caldor fire is dominating El Dorado County and surrounding vicinity as we felt smokes, dusts, and unhealthy air quality in greater Sacramento regions. 

Tens of thousands of people have been evacuated as the fire advances, with evacuation orders likely to remain in place until the end of the month, according to local authorities.  In its infancy the Caldor fire covered little more than 1,000 acres but in the space of weeks, it had quickly grown to over 218,000 acres and affected more than 50,000 people per Cal Fire reporting.  The brave firefighters had managed to get a handle on the blaze with 53% containment as of September 9, 2021.

As you know this fire is not too far from us.  Don’t you think we are blessed as our community members and neighbors are safe and in good health?  It’s time for all of us together to assist these fire victims—financially and economically.  This is why the Sacramento Area Bangladeshi-American Association (SABAA) and the Humanity Beyond Barriers (HBB) collaboratively taking initiative and requesting your kind and generous support for this noble cause.  To fight against Caldor fire and to help victims, SABAA and HBB humbly urging you to join us on this fundraising drive and donate generously.  Your 100% contributions will go directly to the fire victims of El Dorado County since we will be physically going to the affected area to distribute funds.  Keep in mind, your donation is tax deductible under Section 501(c)(3).  The deadline for donation is September 23, 2021.
