Here she is ladies and gentlemen! Today we received a visual confirmation of our beloved Cressman’s cat Momma Kitty. A little bit angry, but nevertheless alive and well. The true definition of perseverance!

Yesterday we were honored to be a part of something we believe will bring help to where it’s needed most, our community and our forests. Immediately after the fire our heads were reeling. The surreal days were filled with grief. Not only grief for our home and Cressman’s but grief for our neighbors homes and our beautiful forest. That grief turned into the need to help. As we sat and discussed different ideas with the people surrounding us we focused on two areas ... our fore...st and the people who have been affected. Not only cleaning up the burned areas but making sure the areas that survived will continue to be healthy and thrive. We learned of another family, the MacDonald family, who lost their historical family cabin who were looking to do the same- help the forest and the community. It seemed natural to join forces and give life to our ideas. With a force of nature Sahara Saude-Bigelow behind the helm, the Sierra Mountain Resiliency Fund was born. With support from the Sierra Historical Society we are able to ensure these donations are tax deductible and will go to those who need it. Yesterday we launched this effort. We embarked into an unknown territory to help rebuild our community and forest. We started by planting trees at Cressman’s with our Ridgetop 4H group. They are a small symbol of the hope to come. We will help those in need by bringing resources directly to them. We will be posting here about those resources and how to access them. We hope to provide support in terms of educational resources as well, as finding even the starting point for clean up is difficult as is navigating permits and the rebuild process. We are happy to say we are in the planning process for the new store. Beautiful things are in the works! If you have a specific need and think we can help send us a private message and we will see if we can! We will keep you posted about tree plantings and community clean ups we can coordinate once it is safe to do so. - The Gillett’s This couldn’t have been possible without the help of: Sahara Saude-Bigelow and Osterberg Farms If you would like to support the resiliency fund or learn more visit: https://sierrahistorical.org/give-to-resiliency-fund/

Between every two pines is a doorway to a new world - John Muir Special announcement coming soon!

We have been absolutely humbled by the amount of support from the Cressman’s community. Whether it’s words of encouragement, a donation, a supportive hug or your prayers, we see and feel all of your love. Everyday doesn’t seem as dark and as the sunny skies are returning our spirits are lifting. We hope we can offer some solace to those who have lost their homes, cabins or businesses. We will rebuild with you. If you choose not to rebuild we will be here when you come for a... visit with a cookie for you . We miss seeing your smiling faces. We miss laughing with you. The community gathering was a step towards healing to reunite and feel each other’s strength. Thank you to everyone volunteering to bring resources to the community. If anyone needs assistance and they feel Cressman’s or the Gillett Family can provide that, please let us know. Mountain Strong Forever and from the bottom of our hearts THANK YOU See more
