Helping with the Colorado Wildfires
Living in Colorado the possibility of fire is a reality that most don't understand. There are multiple fires burning in Colorado right now and our thoughts and prayers go out to those who have lost their homes and to those brave men and women that are risking their lives fighting these fires. When you stop and think about what is lost it saddens anyone. We at CloudZow have always said that fire, theft and computers crashing can destroy your memories and for the people living in these areas this is a harsh reality. Homes, furniture, cars and computers can be replaced, lives cannot. This is a perfect example of the importance of backing up your data and memories. It is a reality that we hate to see but hope to prevent.
I would like to help and here is what I am doing - For the next week (through July 4th) for every person that signs up for a month of service with CloudZow at $5 (30 day money back guarantee) I will personally donate $1 to helpcoloradonow.org
Protect your data and help the men and women affected by these fires.
