GAITHERSBURG, Md., Nov. 8 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In response to the
needs of victims who lost their homes as a result of the recent Southern
California wild fires, AmeriDream, a national nonprofit organization
dedicated to advancing homeownership as the foundation for building strong
communities and individual prosperity, announced today it has initiated a
fund raising campaign to help people affected by the deadly wildfires that
destroyed more than 2,000 homes last month.
"The fires are a tragedy that impacted homeowners, communities and the
state," said AmeriDream President Ann Ashburn. "Businesses and
organizations in the public and private sectors need to step up and get
involved."
The organization's goal is to raise $30,000 to aid families and
communities affected by the fires. Throughout the month of November,
AmeriDream will use its down payment assistance program to promote the
campaign. For every new homeowner who receives a down payment assistance
gift from AmeriDream during the month of November, AmeriDream will donate
$10 to the relief efforts. AmeriDream's down payment assistance program has
helped over 200,000 lower income individuals and families become homeowners
in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Others can also make
contributions by going to http://www.ameridream.org and clicking on "Donate Now."
