Wildfires in southern California have caused widespread devastation, with 24 people dead and thousands of structures destroyed. Among those affected is former Mississippi State wide receiver Jamire Calvin, whose family home in Altadena was consumed by the flames.
Calvin took to social media to share the heartbreaking news and seek support from the community. He described the fire as being like a hurricane, with no water to stop it. Tragically, Calvin’s aunt lost her life in the same fire.
Authorities are warning that the wildfires are likely to continue due to severe fire weather conditions, prompting a massive effort from various agencies to combat the blazes. In response to Calvin’s loss, the Mississippi State Athletics community has come together to support him and his family through a GoFundMe campaign.
In an Instagram post, Calvin expressed gratitude for the outpouring of prayers and support, emphasizing the need for donations to help his family rebuild their lives. He urged those who are unable to donate to share the campaign to spread awareness.
As Californians continue to grapple with the devastating impact of these wildfires, the support and solidarity shown towards Calvin and his family serve as a reminder of the power of community in times of crisis.
