My name is Birdie Bartholomew, and I grew up in Pacific Palisades where many of my friends and family resided until just a few days ago. They've been left with absolutely nothing and it's beyond imaginable to comprehend the devastation of our entire community. Homes, local restaurants, shops, schools, churches, and parks have burned to the ground.

My friends and I are doing everything we can to support those in need who evacuated with their families and only the clothes on their back.

We're raising money to -

1) Purchase school supplies, clothing, toiletries, toys, formula, diapers, food, pet supplies, and everyday essentials.

2) Purchase gift cards (food delivery service, target and amazon) to help friends stay fueled and replace essential items for themselves, their children, and their pets.

Everything will go directly to families in need. If you're unable to donate, sharing this campaign is another wonderful way to support!

We are beyond grateful for your help in bringing relief to our entire community who has lost so much.
