Help Jessica and Her Kids After the Pacific Palisades Fire

Hi everyone,

I’m starting this fundraiser on behalf of my dear friend, Jessica, who has experienced a devastating loss. The recent Pacific Palisades Fire destroyed her home, leaving her, her two children, and their two cats without a safe space to call their own.

Jessica is not the type of person to ask for help—she’s always been the one to step up for others. Whether it’s organizing community events, volunteering her time, or offering support to anyone in need, Jessica has always been a source of light and strength for so many of us. That’s why I felt compelled to take the lead and create this campaign for her.

Despite everything she has lost, Jessica’s beautiful spirit remains unshaken. She recently appeared on CNN (video linked below) sharing a heartfelt message about love and hope in the face of adversity. Her words inspired so many, reminding us that even in the darkest moments, compassion and resilience can shine through. That’s just who Jessica is—a beacon of hope and kindness, even when facing unimaginable challenges.

This fundraiser is here to help Jessica and her family with immediate, unforeseen expenses that aren’t covered by other resources, including:

1. Essentials like clothing, food, and supplies for her family and pets.

2. Items to help the children transition and maintain some sense of normalcy during this difficult period.

3. Future needs to assist with their long-term recovery and stability.

Jessica would never ask for this herself, but I know how much it would mean to her to have the community rally behind her in this time of need. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference in helping her and her family rebuild their lives.

If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this campaign with your network. Your support, in any form, will help show Jessica that the love and kindness she’s shared with so many of us are being returned to her now.

Thank you for helping me support Jessica and her family as they navigate this journey. Together, we can make a real difference. ❤️

With Love, Kelly Bond (Pacific Palisades)
