Dear Friends,

It’s an unprecedented time in Southern California and the love that I’ve seen come together across friend groups and communities in my beloved hometown of Los Angeles is incredibly heartwarming during such a heartbreaking time.

With that said, our childhood friend Mary Ruble (Mayfield Jr. School, Class of '93/Mayfield Sr. School, Class of '97) lost her home of 20+ years in the Pacific Palisades fire. Like so many, she lost everything, but not her spirit and strength to carry on. In her greatest time of need, her friends are banding together and asking for any help in raising funds so she can start again. No amount is too big or too small. Any act of giving and kindness will have a meaningful impact.

We are launching this to help our friend take the first steps toward recovery.

We likely all know someone who has been affected by the tragic events, so thank you for any contribution you can make.

Sincerely,

Andrea Simpson, Shannon Wollack, Jennifer Case, Lindsay Hayden, Liz Hamlin
