last night, erica and her husband, santi, experienced an unimaginable loss when their home was destroyed in a fire.

in a matter of hours, they lost their house, their belongings, and most heartbreakingly their three beloved animals. the grief and shock they are navigating right now is overwhelming.

erica is a true light in the vintage community, someone who shows up with generosity, creativity, and heart. through her brand, with love studios, she has built something deeply meaningful.

as many of you know, we just opened our shop together in old town, and she poured so much of herself into building something rooted in care, beauty, and community. for this to happen right before christmas makes it all the more devastating.

in addition to their personal belongings, a large portion of erica’s vintage and bridal inventory was still stored in her house. she is currently trying to salvage what she can, but much of her work and livelihood has been affected. rebuilding will take time, resources, and support, both personally and professionally.

erica and santi are safe, but they are starting over from nothing. this gofundme was created to help support them as they begin the long process of rebuilding their lives. covering immediate needs like clothing, food, and basic necessities, as well as the significant costs of rebuilding what was lost beyond what insurance may cover.

any contribution, no matter the size, will help ease the financial burden during this incredibly painful time. if you’re unable to donate, sharing this page means just as much.

thank you for surrounding erica and santi with love, care, and support when they need it most.
