Hi everyone,

I'm reaching out on behalf of my friend and coworker, Oren Root, whose family recently went through an unimaginable tragedy. Their home was completely destroyed in a fire that spread in under five minutes — they lost everything, including their beloved pets.

Oren, his wife, and their two young children are now living out of a hotel, trying to figure out what comes next. They were left with nothing — no clothes, no devices, no food, no belongings.

We’re raising funds to help them begin rebuilding their lives from scratch. Donations will go directly toward essentials like clothing, food, basic household items, and temporary living expenses.

Oren and his family are incredibly kind and giving — the kind of people who show up for others without hesitation. Now, they need that kindness returned.

If you’re reading this and wondering how to help, even a small donation can make a meaningful difference for Oren and his family during this devastating time.

Please donate if you’re able, and help by sharing this with others who might want to support them too.

With heartfelt thanks,

JP
