Hello. My name is Ellen Lee, and I truly appreciate you taking the time to read this.

I have known the Rodriguez family for ten years, and if you know them, you know how much love they have for their community. They are always willing to give a helping hand.

My dear colleague and friend, Claudia E. Rodriguez, and her family Robert and Max Rodriguez, have been blindsided by the loss of their home due to the Eaton Fire. They were able to evacuate, but everything is unsalvageable.

The Rodriguez family is such a ray of sunshine to those around them, and we hope we can bring a little of that back to them. These funds will assist with needs that might not be fully covered by other sources of aid. Any amount you're willing to contribute is so greatly appreciated, and if you aren't able to contribute at this time, a share with your friends and family would mean the world.
