Hello friends and family,
I come to you tonight as I feel absolutely helpless and wanting to do something for the town I spent every summer growing up in. Maybe you don’t know but New Mexico is on fire. They have multiple fires going on through out the state and one in particular is affecting my family. The hermits peak fire was started by a prescribed burn that got out of hand and then collided with the calf canyon fire that was going on around the same are. On April 19th 2022 I got an alert through a Facebook group that the fire had started and was raging out of control in the mountains behind my grandmas house. The fire fighters were working so hard to get it under control and they almost had it but as the days went on and the wind was picking up it grew bigger and bigger. So fast forward to today. The fire had burned 197,000+ acres is only 41% contained and has over 1700 people working to put it out. My grandma has been evacuated out of her house since the 20th, we have had little to no contact with her due to signals being disrupted, cell phone towers burning down and the fact that they are in a mountainous area with already awful coverage.
I am making shirts to help start raising money to go specifically toward Mora, NM and those affected. I started make shirts as a hobby 2 years ago and now with my little ones and being a stay at home mom I rely on it to be my ”mental break”. This design has been seen in multiple groups I am in for NM and I figure I would make a shirt out of it because this tight knit community will rise again.
So with that being said I am setting the minimum for a shirt $15. I get $5 and $10 will get donated. If you feel inclined to donate more I would absolutely appreciate it and I will send it on over, just know I am only keeping $5 to cover expenses.
I can also make window decals!!
