WILDFIRES CA-CALLING HEARTS TO ACTION •

HI, MY NAME IS IZABELLA AND IM 12 YEARS OLD. I WROTE THIS LETTER DURING 6TH PERIOD AT SCHOOL AND ASKED MY MOM TO SHARE IT WITH THE WORLD SO WE CAN GET AS MANY AS WE CAN TO HELP. I WAS SITTING IN CLASS, LISTENING TO MY TEACHER CRY ON THE PHONE, HER FAMILY WAS TELLING HER NEW FIRES HAVE COME AND HER HOME SHE GREW UP IN IS GONE, HER FAMILY NO LONGER HAS A HOME, ITS SO SAD I BEGAN TO CRY, THEY LOST EVERYTHING. WHAT IF IT WAS ME AND MY FAMILY. I WANTED SO BAD TO SHARE MY HEART WITH HER SO HERS WOULDN’T HURT ANYMORE. I REALLY LIKE MY ELA TEACHER, SOME OF THE OTHER STUDENTS ARE RUDE TO HER BUT SHES SO NICE. IN THIS MOMENT I WANTED TO GET HELP I THOUGHT WHAT CAN I DO IM A KID. I SAT QUIETLY AND STARTED WRITING MY THOUGHTS AND IDEAS. AND THIS IS IT, THIS IS MY LETTER TO ASK FOR EVERYONE READING THIS, BE INTENTIONAL WITH YOUR ACTIONS. MY FRIENDS AND EVEN PEOPLE I DONT KNOW, I HOPE YOU WANT TO BE APART OF THIS WITH ME. ITS BIGGER THEN US. PEOPLES LIVES ARE FORCED TO TRANSFORM WITHOUT ANY TIME AND ITS UP TO ALL OF US TO MAKE SURE THEY FEEL LOVE AND NOT DEFEAT. HOW ELSE DO WE SHOW LOVE IF WE ARENT ACTIVE IN PARTICIPATING WITH ALL OUR HEARTS? WORKS NOT ONLY GROW OUT OF FAITH THEYRE INTEGRAL TO IT. MY MOM ALWAYS SAYS, IF WE ARENT INVOLVED WITH CHANGE THEN WERE CHOOSING. I DONT KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT MY FAITH ISNT SEPARATED FROM MY ENTIRE LIFE INSIDE A LITTLE COMPARTMENT THAT ONLY COMES OUT ON SUNDAYS. “LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF” IS NOT A COMMAND BECAUSE ITS ADMIRABLE IN AND OF ITSELF, ITS THE TRUTH AND RADICAL IMPLICATIONS FROM THE 1ST AND GREATEST COMMANDMENT OF ALL “LOVE THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, SOUL, MIND, AND STRENGTH”

WE SHOULD BE FOLLOWING GODS INSTRUCTIONS FOR NO OTHER REASON THEN “WE LOVE BECAUSE HE FIRST LOVED US!”

MY MISSION IS TO COLLECT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. WE TEAMED UP WITH WORLD CENTRAL KITCHEN AND PASADENA HUMANE SOCIETY TO ADOPT AS MANY FAMILIES AND GET AS MANY PETS FOSTERED AS WE CAN, THE MONEY WILL BE USED FOR RELOCATION EFFORTS, CLOTHING, FOOD, TOILETRIES, ID AND DOCUMENT REPLACEMENTS, REHOMING PETS, PET FOOD, ANYTHING NEEDED FOR ANY REASON, I DO NOT WANT TO LEAVE ANYONE OUT BECAUSE THERES NOT A WAY. WITH GOD EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE. IF SOMEONE NEEDS A COUNSELOR TO TALK ABOUT HOW SAD THEY ARE, I WANT THEM TO HAVE THAT. LOSING IT ALL IS OUT OF EVERYONES CONTROL BUT WE ARE IN CONTROL OF OUR OWN LIVES AND HOW MUCH WE ENGAGE. IN MY PIGGY BANK I HAD 243$ AND I ASKED MOM IF SHE COULD DONATE IT. IT MIGHT NOT SEEM LIKE MUCH BUT TO SOMEONE WHO HAS NOTHING, ITS ENOUGH. WE CANT TAKE ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD WITH US TO HEAVEN SO PLEASE BE A LIGHT PLEASE!

THANK YOU TO WHOEVER READS THIS LETTER. DONT FORGET TO PRAY OK
