All contributions will go directly to the Nitti family to help secure temporary housing and replace essential belongings.

On January 7, 2025, the devastating Palisades Fire swept through Los Angeles, becoming the most destructive wildfire in the city's history. Among those affected is Ms. Anna Nitti, a beloved 3rd-grade teacher at Roosevelt Elementary School in Santa Monica, California.

Ms. Nitti has been a dedicated educator and a cherished member of the community for decades. Her passion for teaching and her deep commitment to her students have had a lasting impact on so many young lives. Parents consistently express their gratitude for her kindness, support, and the nurturing environment she creates in her classroom.

Sadly, the Nitti family's home was destroyed in the fire, displacing Anna, her partner Tony, and their son Thomas, a 2nd grader at Roosevelt. The fire has wreaked havoc across the region, claiming over 1,000 homes and leaving families like the Nittis facing the immense challenge of rebuilding their lives from the ground up.

As the Nittis work to pick up the pieces, your generosity will provide vital support as they begin to recover. Ms. Nitti has always been there for her students, offering guidance, encouragement, and a loving presence in their lives. Now, it's our turn to support her and her family. Any contribution—no matter the amount—will make a meaningful difference and bring much-needed relief during this trying time.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity and support.
