High School Team Buys Uniforms For Opponents Who Survived CA Fire

PARADISE, CA --Members of the girls volleyball team at Paradise Adventist Academy received the surprise of their lives, just two days after a deadly wildfire swept through their small Northern California town.

CNN reported the volleyball team moved forward with its scheduled game against Forest Lake Christian School in Auburn, Calif. on Nov. 10 despite many of its members losing their homes and belongings in the Camp Fire, the deadliest and most destructive blaze in California history.

When the Paradise team arrived in Auburn, they not only found countless boxes of donations, but new uniforms after members lost theirs in the blaze, CNN reported.

"We saw the jerseys with socks and kneepads and shorts and there were bags with jerseys and shoes," Quincey Carter, a member of the Paradise volleyball team, told CNN. "We don't even know how they pulled that together so quickly. It was just a feeling of overwhelming love."

On top of the donation, members of the Forest Lake Christian School also raised tens of thousands of dollars and gift cards for the Paradise families.

"Grab whatever you like or whatever you need to make life more manageable," Athletic Director LaRon Gordon told the girls and their families.
