Help Willa and Jeff and their Family After the Eaton Fire
Donation protected
Our sister Willa is our best friend and is the best person we know. She and her family—her husband Jeff, their 2.5-year-old son Ocean, their 2-month-old baby daughter Ayla, and their 5-year-old mastiff—lost their home and everything they own in the devastating Eaton Canyon fire in Altadena.
Willa is just two months postpartum, caring for her newborn while navigating the unimaginable loss of their home. Ocean, her sweet and curious toddler, loves reading, trucks, tractors, and anything Cars-related. He doesn’t understand why they can’t go home, and it’s heartbreaking to see him ask for his books and toys, which were all lost in the fire.
This was where they brought their babies home to, a place filled with so much love and beautiful memories. While we are so grateful that they are all safe, it’s truly devastating to see the destruction.
To make matters even more challenging, both Willa and her husband are currently in between projects. They urgently need help covering the costs of essentials like clothes, diapers, baby supplies, books, toys, and even food and care for their dog.
Simone and I are stepping in to do everything we can to support them. Here’s how you can help:
Donations: Any contribution, no matter how small, will go toward essentials like food, diapers, supplies.
Sharing: If a donation isn’t possible, even sharing this campaign far and wide would mean the world to us and could make a huge difference.
In-Kind Donations: If you have clothes, books, toys, or other items to donate, please contact Emma or Simone for an address to ship to once we have one. You can also drop off donations at our house, and we’ll make sure they get to Willa and her family.
It’s so hard to be far away and unable to physically help them through this, but we know that together, we can rally around Willa and her family. They deserve all the love and support in the world, and we’ll never stop trying to give them that.
Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support. It means everything to us and to Willa’s family.
