The Grossmans wrote that they will create the Sierra Nevada Camp Fire Relief Fund through the Golden Valley Bank Community Foundation.

"Once the fire is out, we will distribute all donated money to partner organizations that are dedicated to rebuilding and supporting the communities that have been affected," the family wrote.

"Even though we are all living moment to moment trying to figure out who is safe and if our homes have been spared, the beauty of the human spirit still shines through," the family said.
