Hi, my name is Iaroslav Bieliei, and I’m organizing this fundraiser to support Dima Nikolaev from Ballroom BackStage, a dear friend, and community member who lost everything during the devastating Palisades Fire.

Dima has been an integral part of the Ballroom Dance Industry. Known for his kind heart, hard work, and unwavering positivity, Dima has touched the lives of so many. Tragically, the Palisades Fire destroyed his home, leaving him with nothing but the clothes on his back.

Losing a home is not just about losing possessions—it’s about losing a sense of safety, stability, and the life you’ve built. Dima is currently facing the challenge of rebuilding from scratch, and he needs our support to get back on his feet.

Your contributions will go directly towards:

• Securing temporary housing

• Replacing essential belongings and parts of his professional equipment

• Covering food and transportation expenses

• Assisting with other unforeseen costs as Dima navigates this challenging time

Why Your Support Matters:

Dima is someone who has always given to others without asking for anything in return. Now, he needs our help. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a tangible difference in helping him rebuild his life.

Other Ways to Support:

If you’re unable to contribute financially, you can still help by sharing this campaign with your network. Let’s come together as a community to show Dima that he’s not alone in this journey.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity and kindness.
