Hello, kind-hearted friends and community members,

I'm reaching out to you with a heavy heart to support two incredible people, Tara and Jem Cohen, who have suffered a devastating loss. Recently, their cherished home in Pacific Palisades, California, was engulfed by a wildfire, leaving them without the sanctuary they've lovingly built.

Tara and Jem are not only a talented pair of artists and musicians but also a recently married couple who were just beginning the beautiful journey of life together. They’ve spent years honing their crafts, creating art that speaks to the soul—a testament to their vibrant spirits. Sadly, this tragedy has not only claimed their home but the irreplaceable art and musical creations that were part of their lives.

I had the joy of witnessing their union less than a year ago, a celebration of unconditional love. Now, they face the daunting task of restarting their lives from scratch.

We have a heartfelt opportunity to rally around Tara, Jem, and their adorable pup, Hoho, to show them that they are not alone. Your generous donations will help them find shelter, restore their belongings, and begin anew with hope and resilience.

No contribution is too small, and every little bit helps in providing them the warmth of community support. Even if you're unable to donate, sharing this campaign with others can make a difference.

Let's wrap Tara and Jem with love, compassion, and the encouragement to rise from this tragedy.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for any support you can provide.

With love,

Mary Grisey (Tara's dear friend and mentor)

& Her Friends & Family
