On Friday night, our beloved aunt Esther was notified that her warehouse/office in downtown LA was completely burned down due to a fire that started outside and eventually moved into the building. The fire destroyed all of her inventory, causing total damages to be approximately $3 million. Thankfully no one was seriously hurt. She started this small business with her husband back in 1994, manufacturing and wholesaling children's apparel for weddings, birthdays, and other formal occasions.

Insurance will only help her recoup a fraction of her losses, and so our goal is a lofty one. Any financial help, advice, and encouragement would be so much appreciated. Our aunt is a wonderful person who always acted with kindness and generosity and loved to take care of others. Her company felt more like a family than a business. She would never ask for a thing, but it would be great to send back to her all the kindness she has spread over the years. Thank you for reading!
