A Story of Hope with Dylan Johnson

This is a story of hope, hope for a community after a devastating natural disaster.

On September 4th, 2020, the lives of the Shaver Lake community flipped upside down with the eruption of the creek fire. On September 5th, the Shaver Lake community was evacuated from their beloved mountain, leaving their primary residences, their livelihoods, and life as they knew it behind. In just a few short days, they learned of the destruction and devastation they would find upon their return home. "Heartbreak does not begin to describe the pain we feel for the loss our friends, our families, our communities, and our mountain has suffered."

It was out of this heartbreak, out of this pain, that Rebuild our Sierra was born. Many in the community wanted to help, stand up for their community, rebuild what was lost, and look to the future to ensure more memories for generations to come. From this tragedy, the volunteer-run organization, Shaver Lake Visitors Bureau, launched Rebuild Our Sierra, a grassroots fundraiser.
