Jess Ross, 42, moved to Scotland’s capital with her husband Aaron, 53, who is an author, and six of their 10 children in January 2020. One of Mrs Ross’s closest friends, Nicole Gyarmathy, is one of those whose home has been destroyed. She is currently residing in a hotel with her husband, their daughter and their dog, uncertain of how they rebuild their lives. “She’s this very vivacious, open-hearted woman who even stayed to help elderly people out of their apartment building, but she was too shocked to speak. “It has been amazing to see people who don’t even know them donate and I think that’s a beautiful thing.”The GoFundMe page set up by Mrs Ross can be found here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-a-family-devastated-by-california-fires?cdn-cache=0
