Hi, I’m Mel, and my daughter is a student at Palisades Elementary Charter School—a vibrant community where children grow, learn, and create lifelong memories.

Tragically, the recent fires in the Palisades have caused unimaginable devastation, and our beloved school has been destroyed. This loss impacts not only the students but also the teachers, staff, and families who have poured their hearts into making this school a cornerstone of our community.

We are heartbroken, but we are also determined. Rebuilding won’t be easy, but together we can restore the spaces where our children learn, laugh, and thrive.

This fundraiser, organized by the Yang family, will directly support recovery efforts. Melissa will work with Principal Herman and the P.E.P (Palisades Enrichment Program) to ensure that every dollar goes where it’s most needed.

In times like these, it’s more important than ever to come together and help however we can. Every contribution—no matter the size—brings us one step closer to rebuilding and healing.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity during this incredibly difficult time. Let’s show the strength of our community and give these kids their school back.
