If Love isn91裸聊视频檛 able to provide the help that an evacuee is needing, he said hopefully one of the 112 91裸聊视频� and growing 91裸聊视频� members of his group will be able to.

Love said clothing, food and shelter make up the bulk of what the group is offering, with numerous members offering to make room in their homes for the evacuees.

91裸聊视频淚, myself, am even willing to put up a couple of people inside my house, I can put up a couple more people inside my camper, and I91裸聊视频榲e got lots of room for RVs or tents for camping,91裸聊视频� Love said. 91裸聊视频淚 can help out even some of them, myself, with food and whatnot, too.91裸聊视频�

Members in the group span across the province, with Facebook profiles showing up from the coast, up to Lillooet and as far out as Calgary.

That, Love said, will help to spread group91裸聊视频檚 ability to provide help wherever it91裸聊视频檚 needed, especially with most of the fires in the Cariboo region 91裸聊视频� far away from Love91裸聊视频檚 home in Penticton.
