CAMARILLO, Calif. – A women who raised her children in Santa Barbara lost almost everything when the home she shared with her wife burned in the Mountain Fire in Camarillo.

The now-grown Moropoulos daughters shared a GoFundMe for their mom, Marla Moropoulos, and Kris Fishback.

The couple had been away from home when a wind-driven fire started Wednesday morning.

Since they weren't home they didn't have a chance to take anything.

The GoFundMe set up by Elyse Moropoulos has received dozens of donations towards a $100,000 goal.

It will take time and money to rebuild their home.

Payton Moropoulos said they are staying with friends in Santa Barbara.
