Support The Kalmus Eaton Fire Relief Fundraiser

Donation protected
Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters,

I hope this message finds you well. We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you who have reached out with concern, love, and support following the devastating Eaton Fire in Los Angeles.

We are incredibly grateful to share that our entire family—parents, kids, grandparents, and our three dogs—are safe and currently staying at a Holiday Inn Express. Unfortunately, we lost our main house in the fire. The evacuation on Tuesday evening around 7 PM was swift, and we barely had time to grab essential items like medications, birth certificates, and passports. We left with little more than the clothes on our backs.

In a remarkable twist of luck, our ADU (back house) remains completely intact, without any damage. This small silver lining has given us a glimmer of hope as we navigate this challenging time.

Your Generosity Means the World to Us
We are truly humbled by the outpouring of support and generosity we’ve received. Your contributions have already made a significant impact, helping us cover immediate needs like meals and essential items. This support has been a lifeline as we begin the process of rebuilding our lives from the ground up.

How You Can Continue to Help
Many of you have asked how you can further assist, and while it’s difficult to accept help, your kindness has been overwhelming. At this time, the most helpful contribution would be to donate to our GoFundMe.

Our Story in the Media
For those interested in learning more about our experience, several media outlets have featured our story:
The Los Angeles Times captured the burning of our home in photos that was featured live on KTLA 5 on Tuesday night

We know we’re not alone in this tragedy, and our hearts go out to all the families affected by these devastating fires. Your support has given us the strength to move forward, and we are deeply appreciative of every message, donation, and gesture of kindness.

Thank you for standing with us during this incredibly difficult time. Your generosity and compassion have made all the difference, and we will forever be grateful.

With love and gratitude,
The Kalmus Family ❤️
