Help Adrian Rebuild After Fire Loss

Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Strangers,

We are reaching out with heavy hearts and hopeful spirits to share that as of a couple of hours ago it has been confirmed that our brother, Adrian Cruz, has lost everything in the recent California fires. His apartment in the Pacific Palisades was completely destroyed, and with it, all of his belongings—things he had slowly worked so hard to acquire over his years in California. Unfortunately, because of the urgency to evacuate immediately he wasn’t given the opportunity to take anything but his wallet and keys. Among the losses were his work equipment, including his computer, hard drives, filming cameras, and other tools essential to his livelihood. Along with all home essentials that have all perished in the fire. To say we are in shock and disbelief is an understatement.

While we are incredibly grateful to God that his life was spared, he is now left to start over from nothing. It’s a devastating situation, but we know that God is with him, and through His grace and the kindness of others, we believe that brighter days are ahead.

We are humbly asking for any help, no matter how small, to assist Adrian in rebuilding his life. Your generosity will help him cover essential needs, replace lost equipment, and find stability in this incredibly challenging time.

"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:18 (NIV)

This verse reminds us that material possessions are temporary, and our ultimate hope and focus are on the eternal promises of Jesus Christ. We will continue trusting in God and not being consumed by earthly losses.

Your prayers, love, and support mean the world to us. Thank you for standing with Adrian as he begins this journey of recovery.

With gratitude,

Cruz Family
