California Brush Fire

It has been a week since the fire started at Malibu. Nobody could imagine that many people would have to evacuate. It's so sad when seeing those people left homes without any belongings. The worst part was the time when evacuees could go home from the shelter, they realized their home had vanished like smoke and only ashes remained.
I could not do much besides packed up my clothes for donation and planning to join the Red Cross on Saturday at the shelter in San Diego. This fire came up with all of a sudden, and most people still couldn't believe their homes were gone.

"Firefighters sacrifice their safety for our homes,
Evacuees have nowhere to go besides staying in domes.
Red cross and volunteers bring in their basic needs,
hopefully, they can find some peace.
Tired eyes, miserable look, starring everywhere
but couldn't find a hook.
Worries and loneliness, sadness and frustrations
could easily trace on their face.
Strong faith and trust, keep them in your prayers
This is all we can do."
