The founders of SATURDAY MORNING, a nonprofit based in Los Angeles, CA are pulling together to help one of their own, Geoff Edwards, who lost his home in the Palisades Fires on January 7th.

Geoff, co-founder of SATURDAY MORNING, has dedicated much of his time to empowering underserved communities to thrive in creative fields. His unwavering commitment to uplifting others has touched countless lives. Unfortunately, Geoff and his family recently lost their home in the devastating Pacific Palisades fire.

As a community, we’re coming together to support Geoff and his family during this incredibly difficult time. Your contributions will help them rebuild their lives and continue the work that has inspired so many of us.

This is the first picture we took after moving to Pacific Palisades in 2015. The kids insisted on going to the beach, even though it was a chilly day. Little did we know how meaningful this memory would become a decade later. On January 7th, our lives changed forever.

In just a few hours, we lost decades of memories—Ella’s writings, Tribe’s baseball trophies, Mariecolette’s handmade quilts, our wedding album, her engagement ring, among other cherished keepsakes—all gone. While the material items that marked our journey can never be replaced, we are grateful for the intangible treasures: the memories that no disaster can take away.

Mariecolette, the kids, and I are incredibly fortunate that we were able to evacuate safely and find shelter at my brother Rob’s house. As we begin to process what happened, the kids are trying to adjust. Ella to her last semester in college and Tribe to remote schooling due to his school classrooms burning. Marie is taking the time she needs to heal while we decide whether we will rebuild or search for a new place to call home.

We’ve lost everything. We need to replace daily essentials—household items, clothing, school supplies for the kids, baseball gear, and so much more.

If you’re able to help us get through this rough time, we would be forever grateful. Your support would mean the world as we begin to rebuild our lives from the ground up. I believe in the power of ‘positive manifestation’ and I’ve committed my life and my career to helping others. Now I'm humbly asking others to help me and my family.

Thank you for your generous support.
