Help Alex Stuempfig's Family Rebuild After Fire

The AMASS Brands Group Team had one of our friends and colleagues heavily impacted by the tragic Pacific Palisades fire this week. Alex Stuempfig and his family, Megan (Wife), Aidan (Son), Olivia (Daughter) lost their home and everything they own. They lost their community, their schools, their neighborhood shops, and the ability to continue their lives in the beloved Pacific Palisades.

They are immensely grateful that they all escaped unharmed and recognize that was not the case for others involved. However, they are now faced with the overwhelming task of picking up their lives and moving on. As many of us have read, the difficulties with insurance claims and recovering anywhere close to its real value, leave them with a heavy financial burden to regain their footing.

They need to rebuild everything from scratch, down to the most basics necessities. Imagine being stripped of all you own and the task of trying to get back on track. Alex and Megan are committed to maintaining a positive outlook and trying to protect the children from this tragedy. The first steps of that are beginning to rebuild a resemblance of a normal life once again.

I ask anyone who can skip a meal out, buy one less coffee this month, or don't buy something online, to find it in your hearts to give anything you can spare to a family that is facing a tough road ahead. It's these moments in life that make us realize we are one people, we are giving, caring, loving, and willing to pick up our neighbors and friends.

All money raised will go to rebuilding the basic needs of this family, and we are so appreciative of any donation.
