Dear friends and family, we are reaching out to ask for your help and support for a family who means so much to us. Our dear family friends, Ella and Alik Portnoy have lost their home in the devastating LA Pacific Palisades fire.

This kind, generous family came to this country with nothing, determined to build a better life for themselves and their children. After decades of hard work and sacrifices, they finally created a home of their dreams - a place filled with love, memories, friends, and family. Tragically, all of it was lost in an instant.

Now, at retirement age, they must start over from scratch, while dealing with backlog, bureaucracy and other significant challenges with insurance and FEMA. This is the time when they need our support to recover their lives. Many friends and family have asked how they can help, and this GoFundMe is one way to make a meaningful difference.

Your donation, no matter the size, will provide them with the capacity to begin life again. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping this family.

Together, we can remind them that they are not alone. Ella and Alik will be receiving these funds directly.
