This is my friend, Andrew Cole. He's a singer and musician, an extremely talented one. He also happens to be one hell of a guy, who brought his lovely Liverpool accent and charming personality to Los Angeles years ago to pursue his passion for making music with his friends.

He made his home in Pacific Palisades and this week, barely made it out of his home with the clothes on his back, which were scorched, although he wasn't . He lost everything: clothes, music equipment, all his personal items (including his grandfather's WWII medals).

He's a natural band leader and frontman, so he's not accustomed to asking for help (his words), so I am asking on his behalf. So much devastation in Los Angeles, but this one is personal. He truly is one of the most gifted singers I have ever heard and an even better human being. He's not rich and famous like so many of his friends and neighbors; he just needs funds to help him figure out the next few months and get back on his feet once the shock and sadness wear off. Please consider helping this wonderful guy who lives to bring music and a laugh into this world. Every dollar helps!!! Thank you!
