A Note from Stephen Murray
Friday; January 31, 2020
Facebook Friends, Supporters and CampFire Survivors:
November 8th changed my life for ever, I’m sure yours as well. A disaster that brought us all together. We reached out grasping onto anything we could, not knowing what tomorrow would bring.
Today, my Camp Fire story comes to an end. I’m letting go of this disaster and moving forward. I have been here volunteering my life to helping fellow survivors, helping supporters direct there donations and started Coral Apple Foundation to help who we could.
My prayers go out to all Survivors and hope that your recovery will come soon. I want to thank everyone that gave me and my family love and support. There are so many that I would name but so many I would forget. So thank you to everyone that has been there through this whole adventure with me.
Still 15 months later I don’t know what I’m suppose to be doing, or where I’m suppose to take my family but what I do know is until I let go of this Disaster I won’t be at peace.
I have prayed long and hard for God to give me some answers. He has gave me the strength to be here for 15 months and share my love with all of you. A lot of changes come along with this post, there is no easy way to do this. But please understand my feelings and compassion for the work that I have done and know this post is important to my families recovery moving forward. I want to thank my lovely wife Audrey and kids for being beside me through this whole chapter of our lives. To the supporters I borrowed money from to continue my support for Camp Fire Survivors, I’m a man of my word and will payback every penny.
To all 54 Survivors that received a trailer that was donated please do your part and register them, I will be here to finish those transactions. The friendships that have been made through this are forever. Please know this wasn’t easy for me to post but very needed. Family First!!!!

Contact Golden Eagle Films Director Nancy Hamilton if you have an RV, or if you are willing to buy an RV to donate to the many thousands who are now homeless in Paradise California and we will put you in contact with those in need. nancycatherine@comcast.net
