Help Mark & Melissa Recover After Eaton Fire Loss

Story

Like so many in the greater Los Angeles area this week, our friend and colleague - Mark Austin - and his girlfriend, Melissa Venice Lino, lost their home in the Eaton Fire. Thankfully they are both safe, but they lost everything. The devastation writ large in Los Angeles is horrific and heartbreaking. So many of us have known and worked with Mark for decades…and while he is typically the one helping fix things and keep things running for all of us, now is the time to help him and Melissa to recover. My lil team and I at BMO Stadium and LAFC - Brooklyn, Patrick, Leslie, and Syvanna (real humans, not scammers) - are starting this fundraiser to do just that. Please help us show them our love and support to help recover from this tragic disaster. The funds raised here will help secure temporary housing and basic necessities. And, please share this fundraiser far and wide to anyone you know that would want to help. Mark and Melissa would never ask for it, but we know they appreciate the support immensely. Stay safe, and thank you in advance to anyone who continues to contribute and volunteer time, effort, donations, and anything else to help everyone impacted by the fires, and especially our friends and loved ones.
