An elderly couple suspected of accidentally starting Northern California’s deadly Carr fire is receiving an outpouring of support, compassion and forgiveness from their community. “It’s not anything that they did intentionally, it’s not anything that they need to be blamed for, accidents happen all the time,” Pilli told the Record Searchlight. The letters will be collected at the Care Net Pregnancy Center in Redding, where Pilli is executive director. Once all of the letters have been collected, she and another woman will help deliver them on Wednesday. “The response from our community towards this couple has been like an ocean of love and grace,” Pilli told HuffPost.
