Mina, Shin & Noel Enokida

Mina works for Sony and Shin designs furniture from his home studio. Their energy is addictive. They, along with their dog Noel, live in Escondido California in a neighborhood called Del Dios. Del Dios is located right on Lake Hodges which is a fantastic location offering undeveloped vista views and pleasant natural escape from the recent population increase in San Diego. It is a perfect place for Mina and Shin to live. They have worked hard for it. They've done a great job saving and planning to be able to live in such a place for their first home.





















The recent wild fires in San Diego have claimed everything Mina and Shin own. With only 15 minutes to evacuate, they were able to leave with their laptops, their dog Noel and basically the clothes on their backs. They've lost everything they have worked so hard for. Lake Hodges was hit really hard by the fires and was even the spot where the major networks broadcast their special reports on the fires.














Through all of this, Shin and Mina have remained completely positive even when their insurance company said they wouldn't pay them back completely on what they've lost. They still are positive after finding out that there will be limited assistance from FEMA or their insurance company regarding cleanup efforts. Their positivity is inspiring.

We created this blog so people could pass along to anyone who would be able to help with a donation. Mina and Shin have a long expensive road ahead of them. Their insurance and personal finances can only help them so far. If you would like to help, please click on the "Donate" button at the top left of this page. Any amount will help and I assure you Mina and Shin will be thankful.

We can update the blog with news and more photos to show the progress of the cleanup and construction.

Thanks
John & Asa Stoll
