Help Heather & Michael Lyle from the Pacific Palisades Fire

Dear Friends and Supporters,

My friends Heather and Mike Lyle have been directly affected by the recent Palisades Fire in Los Angeles and is currently facing an emergency situation due to evacuation and destruction to their home.

My name is Masood Ali Khan, I am a former singing student of Heather Lyle and close friend of Heather and her husband Michael Lyle. I am a local of Los Angeles and former resident in the Pacific Palisades, and Topanga where I went through many evacuations due to fires.

Today, I’m reaching out on behalf of two extraordinary people who have dedicated their lives to enriching the lives of others through music, sound, and healing.

Heather and Michael have suffered an unimaginable loss. For the second time in their lives, they have lost their home to a devastating wildfire. The recent Palisade Fire has taken not only their house but also cherished belongings that were a profound part of their personal and professional lives.

About Heather and Michael:

• Heather Lyle is a renowned voice teacher and founder of the Vocal Yoga Method®. Her groundbreaking work has helped thousands of people around the world find their voice, heal, and grow. Despite battling lymphoma twice, Heather has always poured her energy into serving others, even during her own recovery.

• Michael Lyle is an Emmy-winning Foley artist whose creativity and skill have brought sound to life in some of the world’s most beloved films and TV shows. His work has enriched the entertainment industry for decades, leaving an indelible mark on audiences everywhere.

The Loss They’ve Faced

This tragedy is especially heartbreaking because it is the second time Heather and Michael have lost everything to a fire. After the Las Flores Fire, Michael risked his life to recover a beloved Gretch drum set by scaling the cliffs of Malibu. Those drums are now gone—again—along with Heather’s special piano and years of sound-healing instruments they had carefully collected.

The loss of these items isn’t just material. Heather and Michael used their instruments and space to create magic that healed, inspired, and uplifted others. Now, that magic has been reduced to ashes.

How You Can Help:

Heather and Michael are in urgent need of support to rebuild their lives. Your donation will go toward:

• Rebuilding Their Home: Helping them secure a safe and stable living environment after this devastating loss.

• Replacing Irreplaceable Items: Including a piano, sound-healing instruments, and Michael’s beloved drum set—tools they use to create and inspire.

• Restoring Hope: Giving them the resources to continue sharing their gifts with the world after this life-altering tragedy.

Why Your Help Matters

Heather and Michael have faced unimaginable challenges with courage and resilience—from Heather’s cancer battles to losing their home not once, but twice. Despite it all, they’ve continued to give to others through their creativity, kindness, and healing work.

Now, they need us. They need the community they’ve inspired, healed, and uplifted to rally around them in their time of need.

Your generosity will make a world of difference in helping Heather and Michael rebuild and restore their lives. No donation is too small, and every contribution will bring them one step closer to stability and hope. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this campaign with your network would mean the world.

Thank you for your compassion and support. Together, we can help Heather and Michael rise from the ashes once again.

With gratitude,

Masood Ali Khan
