Fundraiser for Susan Blumenthal after Palisades Fire

To my friends, family, and greater community,

We were devastated to learn last week that my sister Susan's house of nearly 15 years burned to the ground in the Palisades Fire. Susie and I grew up in west LA and both of us have lived in Los Angeles all our lives. She's a gifted landscaper and art collector and made herself a beautiful home on Edgar St. in the Palisades, where she moved in 2008. She's heartbroken to have lost her home as well as her beloved community.

We're raising funds to support my sister through this difficult time and to hopefully take away some of the stress that comes from being displaced from everything you know. It's going to be a long and complicated journey to rebuild, and if you have the ability, any contribution would mean so much to us. We'd also greatly appreciate you sharing this fundraiser with your network so we can reach as many people as possible.

If you have any photos you've taken at Susie's house on Edgar St., we'd also love for you to send them our way so we can enjoy all the wonderful memories that were made there.

Thank you so much—we can't begin to express our gratitude for your support during this time.

Jeni and Susie Blumenthal
