More than two months later, dozens are still living in hotels. Thanks to generous donations to the Denver7 Gives Wildfire Relief Fund, we gave them a taste of home Tuesday night.
Remediation that was supposed to take two weeks is still not completed after two months. While her hotel room has a mini kitchen, preparing meals has proven to be a challenge. "When they get back to the hotel at night, I've just heard how grateful they are to have a hot meal ready," said Tiffany Tylka, a volunteer for Operation Hotel Sanity."But there's definitely some burnout there. We've had volunteers who have been cooking for the same family two times a week since this all started."
In the hotel, those united by fire have formed a remarkable bond, frequently coming together for meals to share information about insurance, rebuilding and community.
