Thank you to everyone who has reached out with private messages of concern.
Yes, my hometown of Spokane, Washington, is experiencing a devastating firestorm that has displaced more than 67,000 people, destroyed over 700 structures, and claimed the lives of countless beloved pets and farm animals.
Watching this devastation unfold from 3,000 miles away has been heartbreaking.
I'm grateful to say that my family is safe, and my childhood home was not affected. Nor my personal home I still own in the area.
However, I have friends who are currently in evacuation zones and still cannot return home as the fires continue to burn.
My heart aches for everyone who has lost their homes, their livelihoods, and so much more. Like many of you, I've been brought to tears by the photos, stories, and unimaginable destruction.
Because of this, I've decided to raise funds for the Spokane Red Cross and Spokanimal—two trusted organizations working tirelessly to help those affected.
This weekend, a portion of all sales from Drifting Grounds & Pearl's Corner will be donated to support these organizations and help my hometown of Spokane begin the long road to recovery.
Thank you for your kindness, your prayers, and your support. Every purchase, donation, and shared post makes a difference. ❤️ Erin
