Wildfires have ruined many acres of land in Colorado including 347 homes. Broncos defensive end Ben Garland's family home was one the homes.
Garland recently met with firefighters with three other Broncos earlier this week knowing what it's like to lose a home.
His grandparents Hal and Sharon Garland had to leave their home Tuesday when the Waldo Canyon fire came into their neighborhood. They stayed with Ben just outside of Denver later finding out that their home went up in flames.
Many memories and precious items including those of Ben's were gone. Garland, an Air Force Academy graduate, was motivated by this to be grab some Bronco teammates and join in the relief effort in Fort Collins, meeting with evacuees there.
Pat Bowlen, owner of the Denver Broncos, pledged $50,000 to the relief effort. If you want to help out the cause click on the link below.

My prayers and thoughts go out to the people in Colorado.
