PLEASE HELP our dear friends, the McCools (Judy, Steve, Declan, and Eamon - and King), who've LOST THEIR HOME AND EVERYTHING THEY OWN in the devastating PACIFIC PALISADES FIRE. Those who know the McCools understand their kindness and generosity is endless--now it's time to return the favor, as they must now rebuild their entire lives from scratch.

With less than two hours to evacuate, the McCools left their home on Tuesday, January 7th, with not much more than a couple days' worth of clothes, not knowing if or when they may ever return. Within hours, their home, their neighborhood and almost the entire town of Pacific Palisades were burned to the ground. Total devastation beyond imagination. Everything gone.

We are raising funds to help the McCools restart their lives. They will need to buy everything from basic necessities, clothes, dishes, linens, bedding, furniture, TVs, computers, and so much more. 100% percent of funds raised go directly to Steve and Judy.

Nothing will ever replace what our friends have lost, built over their lifetime as a family. But any amount you can give to help the McCools start anew would be most appreciated.

With love and deep thanks,

Patrick Kennell and Dawn Krigstin - New York City
