I. I am over 18 years of age. I have personal knowledge of the facts containe in this

declaration, and if called as a witness, I could and would testify competentl thereto.

2. I was a resident of Paradise, California, for three decades before the Camp ire destroyed

the town and neighboring communities. The fire destroyed my home and p ssessions as

well as the homes and possessions of 25 of my immediate and extended fa ily members. 

My daughter and her family were almost killed by the fire; she said "Good bye" to my 

husband and me on the phone but she miraculously survived. 

3. Before my retirement, I served as an educator in the Oroville City Element ry School 

District in Oroville, California, most recently as the Principal of the Stanfo d Elementary 

School. My husband, Kirk Trostle, is a member of the Tort Claimants Co mittee and the 

former Chief of Police of the cities of Chico and Oroville, which are near 

4. My husband and I were first displaced to Anderson, California, which is a hour and a 

half drive from Paradise. Recently, we moved into a 400 square foot apart ent in 

Paradise. I have kept in touch with former residents in person, on the pho 

social media. 

5. From my conversations with fire victims of the Camp Fire, 1 have noticed hat there are 

many common misunderstandings and gaps of information that reflect thei 

understanding of the bankruptcy. 

• Some fire victims do not understand why they should file a proof of laim in this 

bankruptcy; they do not understand the benefits of filing a proof of claim. 

• Some fire victims have not received a proof of claim form; often bee use they have 

been displaced and are no longer receiving mail at their former address. 

• Some fire victims have stated the information regarding the proof of laim is lost 

among the many flyers, emails, and post cards they are receiving from mar eting law 

offices. 

• Some fire victims believe that there is no point in filing a claim beca se PG&E is 

bankrupt and has no money to give them. 

• Some fire victims believe that they are not entitled to make a claim i they received 

any money from their insurance company. 

• Some fire victims believe that they can file a claim if they lost their h me, but are 

unaware of other claims that are recoverable such as emotional distress. 

Case: 19-30088 Doc# 4312 Filed: 10/18/19 Entered: 10/18/19 16:06:44 Page 3 of

• Other fire victims believe that if they were renting, they do not have claim to 

make. 

• Some fire victims do not know that if they were uninsured or underin ured they can 

still make a claim. 

6. There are thousands of people who need information and time to make an informe participation 

decision based upon facts and the truth. 

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Ex cuted this 

4th day of October, 2019 in Hemet, California.
