I copied this message from the Humane Society/SPCA of Sumter County's website. The fires have doubled in size in Colorado and not only are people and businesses losing their homes and businesses; but fleeing animals and animals held back need a lot of help too. If you can send any donation to help out to any of these organizations it would be a God send.

This brings it all home to us, From my boy in Colorado this afternoon. He was Fort Carson Army Cavalary Color Guard before his med board retirement

I'm still waiting to hear from my brother in CO. He works near Ft. Collins, CO. He had sent me a picture of the Ft. Collins area a couple of weeks ago. You could see plumes of smoke in the background. I hope he still has a job. Very, very sad......for all.
