Hi, my name is Diane Shiffer. I am Steve Oustad�s sister. He was one of the three firefighters that recently lost their lives on the Stanza Fire. On behalf of their families and fellow firefighters in conjunction with the U.S. Forest Service, I would like to ask for your help.
We are trying to raise funds for a modest memorial erected in their honor at the Almanor Ranger Station in Chester. Our proposal is to create a peaceful park-like setting intended for the firefighters and public viewing that will bring together the community they worked with. This design will have three symbolic stone memorials with plaques and benches for reflection, each representing a fallen firefighter. We already have some commitments from businesses and individuals for time and materials, including firefighters wishing to donate their own time and labor. Anything that you can offer will be greatly appreciated, such as: financial aid, materials, or labor, which can bring this design into reality. We feel this will help all of us to work through our tragic loss and bring firefighters closer together for years to come. It is our hope you will find it in your hearts to donate to this worthy cause. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding this project or how you can help at (408) 330-1715 or through my email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sincerely, Diane Shiffer Financial donations can be sent to: Almanor Employee Association Firefighter Memorial Fund c/o Plumas Bank P.O.
