My heart goes out to all that lost their possessions in the CA fires, especially my daughter Lana.

Help Lana Galaforo Rebuild After a Devastating Fire

Lana Galaforo, a talented painter and set designer, has always been a bright light in the lives of everyone she meets. Originally from Hammond, Louisiana, she went to school in Baton Rouge before building a life and career in California. Known for her generosity and welcoming spirit, Lana is the kind of person who never meets a stranger and opens her heart and home to anyone in need.

Now, Lana needs our help.

On January 8, 2025, a devastating fire destroyed her home in Altadena, California. She lost all of her possessions along with her vehicle and all of her tools essential for her creative work. Without insurance, Lana is facing the overwhelming challenge of rebuilding her life and career from scratch.

This GoFundMe is to help Lana replace her tools, secure reliable transportation, and begin the long road to recovery. Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a huge difference in helping this amazing woman get back on her feet.

Let’s come together to support Lana in this difficult time, just as she has always supported so many others.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
