Hello, my name is Jennifer Martinez, and I am helping to raise funds for my friend and co-worker, Kari Hicks! We have worked at the same company for a long time, and she has always been a great person and help to us all.

Due to the devastating Eaton Fire on January 7th, she lost her home and all her belongings. Because of the rapid flames and very little notice, she managed to only evacuate with a couple of priceless possessions and a few articles of clothing. Needless to say, our friend has a long road ahead of her and we are trying to make the process of starting over a little bit easier.

The funds will be used to replenish her work attire and to find permanent housing as she is still trying to figure out her next living situation. Although we at work have been offering assistance, we know she will benefit from this fundraising platform. Thank you so much in advance for any help! It is very much appreciated!
