On January 18, 2026, a wildfire raging across central and southern Chile has taken the lives of 18 people, destroyed hundreds of homes, and displaced the populace within the region. Diavik's own Francisca Puebla finds that her family home, situated in Lirquen, Bio-Bio region, has been lost to the fires, with her family evacuating and having no choice but to leave everything behind.

This fundraiser is in direct response to these horrible, heart wrenching loses that Fran and her family are currently attempting to navigate. Anyone who knows Fran and her kind and caring personality, will know how much this will mean to her and her family. This is intended to support a selfless soul who is hurting and doing what she can through one of the most difficult times in her life. She may not directly ask for help; however, help has a way of finding those who deserve it.

Thank you for any support you may be able to provide, or even for taking a moment to show kindness to a colleague/friend who is a big part of the Diavik family.
