don't get cut off of services like it's daytime shelter. >> what we're hoping to do is to be able to raise money for the church, to be able to bring it back to its original glory, and also to be able to do it quickly. >> lydia bransten is the executive director of the gubbio project, and she says quickly is the key, so that we're not in a position where we're having to wait a long time to do the construction or that the construction takes a really long time. >> so it disrupts services. so that's that's the goal and the community is showing up. >> this is a very tight knit community in this part of the mission. >> we've been through a lot over the last few years. we take care of each other many. >> teal is the owner of manny's, a civic event space and popular restaurant in the neighborhood. >> this place is extremely special in this community. in this neighborhood, it's more than just a church. it's a community space. it's a joy vortex. it's a place where people go for shelter, for support, for love. >> the church has a link where people can already donate, and community members like manny are also taking on the task. >> i'm the president of the

valencia merchants association, and so we'll be getting all the merchants on valencia street, especially those with large social media followings, to post the link and then manny's will be hosting an in-person fundraiser where all the proceeds will go towards repairs. >> meanwhile, the san francisco fire department is confirming the incident is still under investigation. >> if there's anything that the last three, four years have taught us, it's that we're resilient, but we need to work together to get through tough times. >> tara campbell, abc seven news. >> officers are trying to find the person who shot another driver on a freeway in berkeley. it happened at the ashby avenue on ramp to 80 eastbound just before five last night. the chp says a driver in a silver toyota camry crashed after someone in another car shot them. their passenger is okay, but the driver is in the hospital. no, we kind of have to work backwards to determine where this all started. >> our detectives are hard at work, right now, gathering as much evidence and other information that they can to

help us answer these questions. >> chp has not released details about a suspect. the ashby on ramp is back open now. a judge has appointed a special master to oversee the federal women's prison in dublin. it's an unprecedented step for a troubled prison facing allegations of widespread sexual abuse. a lawsuit claims the abuse there has not stopped, despite the former warden and several other officers facing charges. a judge appointed veteran corrections officer wendy stille, to oversee the prison. the fbi raided the prison last month. the man convicted of kidnaping and killing a 12 year old, polly klaas, more than 30 years ago, is now trying to get off death row. attorneys for richard allen davis made their case in court. davis is convicted of stealing klaas away from a slumber party in 1993 and killing her. davis now says recent criminal justice reforms should give him a chance

at a new sentence. his lawyers appeared before a judge in santa clara courtroom. that is, the victim's father. marc klaas says he was blindsided by it. >> they've used a new law, a new trick to relitigate this thing, to bring it back into the public view, to bring it back into my mind. i don't think about richard allen davis until something like this happens. so here we are, 30 years after the fact, and i'm having to relive my daughter's murder again 30 years later. >> legal experts we talked to say this case will likely be appealed to a higher court. the current top prosecutor in the county, where davis was originally sentenced, says he no longer believes in the death penalty. santa clara d.a. jeff rosen is trying to move other convicted men off death row. he's now petitioning to resentence more than a dozen inmates to life without parole. families of the victims will

63. you feel it? yeah. so we managed a couple of low 60s. but everyone really about 5 to 9 degrees below average for your friday today we're still going to be below average, but we're going to warm it up a little bit each and every day. and by next wednesday, thursday, that will be the warmest day of the week. and we'll see temperatures as much as ten degrees above average. here's live doppler seven. pretty quiet right now, and temperatures are cold enough to keep that snow that we had really in place on the higher elevations. low 40s for palo alto and uh- sorry i went through that fast over into the east bay, but we've got low 30s in calistoga, 36 in napa, 35 in sonoma and fairfield. so our 24 hour temperature change is pretty significant anywhere from 2 to 6 degrees cooler this morning. frost advisory for pretty much everyone except right along the coast where even a few degrees milder, a cold start temperatures as low as the low to mid 30s. you saw that. that's to start your weekend and

then the rest of the weather. it's dry. increasing clouds later on today and then by sunday we'll see a mix of clouds and sun. could even see a few sprinkles. but overall it'll be a pleasant day as temperatures warm up even more. and then by next week, the warm up is pretty intense. you'll probably like it, and most of you might get too hot for some of you. here's a look at your day to day. so we go through saturday starting out sunny. and then here comes the high clouds throughout the day. here's a look at early sunday morning. this model wants to paint just a couple of showers here and there. and then as we go through the afternoon this is 330. and you'll notice some of the higher peaks. have some cloud cover and maybe a sprinkle. but overall partly cloudy afternoon. if you see any shower activity, it could be anywhere from a couple of hundredths out there. this is for sunday, but overall a quiet day. and then as the clouds clear out and high pressure builds in, the winds kick up. we'll get into an offshore flow.

so the weather for the bay area fantastic for the eclipse. the partial eclipse. the totality here is the path of that where we'll get into some cloud cover for much of texas and arkansas, but into vermont, ohio and kentucky. looking pretty good. and western new york as we look at highs on tuesday, look at widespread 70s, 60s downtown. here comes the 80s. in fact, we'll get near that not only on wednesday, but even warmer some locations on thursday. as the lower 80s arrive inland. a little cooling at the coast. back to your highs today. partly cloudy, temperatures in the upper 50s, so it's a cool one in the city. on the peninsula, 62 in san jose. look for 61 in santa rosa. another chilly night tonight. and then the accuweather seven day forecast. we've got some clouds and sun tomorrow. slow warm up, but it's really not until the work week begins where we see a significant climb in our temperatures and just keeps going. it looks pretty nice with sunny, warm afternoons, little cooling by next weekend, so.
