SANTA ROSA, Calif. (KGO) -- Rising from the ashes of the North Bay fires, is a strong sense of appreciation and an even stronger sense of compassion.
A nurse in the North Bay is helping families affected by the devastating fires get the items they need by matching them with other families who have stepped up to donate.

The match/donor families have agreed to help the families with everything they need to start over - items from work clothes, to curling irons and shoes.
"When you lose your home, it's hard to rebuild a home. You can rebuild a house, but it's hard to rebuild a home. I wanted to help in any way I can," volunteer coordinator Carrie Boyce said.
The match program started just about two weeks ago and in that time, 95 fire victims have been matched with 355 donor families.
