As I write this, a dangerous fire is raging through a place that is very dear to me.
The Las Conchas Fire in New Mexico has burned close to 61,000 acres in just two days. Many people have lost their homes – many more have been forced to evacuate.

My mom lives just a few miles from the fire and has been told to be ready to evacuate if the winds change.
It’s absolutely heartbreaking, and the damage is truly beyond my comprehension.
This used to be my home.
This is where my mom still lives.
This is where I met my husband.
This is where we got married.
This place gave me so many wonderful memories and experiences.
And now it needs my help.
It needs our help.
Please help me in praying that this fire is put out quickly.
Let’s pray that everyone stays safe – humans and animals included.
Let’s pray that no more homes are lost.
Let’s pray for lots and lots of rain.
Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.
P.S. – The photos were taken by NM residents Debbie and D. Vigil.
I'm with you! I visited that area last summer and found such beauty. Praying for it to all be over soon.
So very sad and tragic. You and your mom and the people of NM are on my prayer list.

Thank you so much – I think it's working! It's now 3% contained!
