If you are one of the lucky ones who haven’t been affected by the fires in Los Angeles, I’m writing to you today to ask for your help. Nicole Lapin, her husband, and their three-week old daughter lost their home and everything they own in the Palisades fire. They evacuated with nothing— no IDs, credit cards, nothing— much less any valuables or sentimental items. Nicole and her family are extremely grateful to have their health, but are now facing the challenges of putting their life back together while juggling caring for their newborn.

Nicole has dedicated her life to being a force for good in the world through educating others on financial literacy. Even now, she is planning on coming back from maternity leave early to put together resources on her platform for families going through the same loss she is. After working with her side-by-side for years, I have been in constant awe of her commitment to helping others. I’m asking that we come together and return the favor.

I am putting this fundraiser together for Nicole and her family to help get them back on their feet and care for their newborn. Please feel free to share this message with anyone you know who knows Nicole and her family, or who would feel moved to help.

Thank you for your support,

Morgan Lavoie
