Dear Friends,

I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for the outpouring of support regarding the devastating fires in Pasadena and the surrounding areas. While my home is safe, many near me have suffered unimaginable losses.

Reflecting on the 2018 fires in Northern California, we learned from the fire department that gift cards were one of the most effective ways to assist families who had lost everything. This method allows them to purchase essential items as they begin to rebuild their lives.

In light of this, my friends and I are organizing a GoFundMe campaign to ensure that every dollar raised goes directly to families in need during this challenging time. Your support can truly make a difference and provide much-needed relief to those affected.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
