Dear friends and kind-hearted strangers,

My dear friend Anna lost her home in the Pacific Palisades fire. The devastation has been overwhelming, not only for Anna but for her entire family, who also lost their home in the blaze. On top of that, Anna's job is on hold for the foreseeable future, as the family she worked for was also displaced by the fire.

Currently, Anna and her beloved dog Ruby are staying with me temporarily, but she is facing an incredibly difficult road ahead. The loss of her home means that she needs to replace everything—clothing, personal items, furniture—and will need help to secure a new permanent place to live. This is where we, as a community, can come together to help her rebuild. I'm starting this GoFundMe to support Anna as she navigates this challenging time.

The funds raised will go towards:

Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in Anna’s ability to start fresh and begin the process of rebuilding her life. She is an incredibly resilient person, but like so many affected by the fire, she needs the support of others to get through this crisis.

Thank you for considering helping Anna and Ruby during this difficult time. Your generosity means the world to us.

With gratitude,

Kiley
