Our dear friend Brian lost his apartment and everything he owns earlier this week in Altadena as a result of the Eaton Fire. Because he is a self-employed stylist who works out of his home, Brian not only lost his personal belongings, he lost all of his tools, products, etc that help him make a living.

Prior to and during the fire, Brian was in North Carolina providing care to a sick family member. Fortunately, Brian's partner was able to save his cat Francois (pictured above with Brian). Like so many others right now, he needs all of our help to rebuild his life here in Los Angeles.

Please consider providing Brian with some assistance if you are able - every contribution is a meaningful step towards helping him. Funds raised will go directly to Brian to cover immediate expenses and to recover from the loss of his apartment and livelihood.
