The words “Long Road Ahead” best describe what many Southern California residents will be facing over the coming weeks and months. The image on the right is the property of a Vietnam veteran that was completely destroyed. The image shows Kern County firefighters assisting him as he searched through the debris for his military medals as well as any other valuables.<\/p>\n

Billy Woods stated, “This sight is just one of many of residents who have lost everything.” Fire officials are working closely with Community of Faith volunteers, organizing teams to assist in the post fire search and clean-up.<\/p>\n

Disaster Relief USA<\/a>\u00a0(DRUSA) is appreciative to Bill Kenedy, Golden West Conference DRUSA Coordinator and Pastor Billy Woods, Golden West Conference M25 Coordinator, for their participation and leadership in the recovery process.<\/p>\n

And thank you to everyone for your prayers and financial support. It is greatly appreciated. It is because of your continued support that we can continue assisting Southern California.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
