Marguerite, Rochelle and Annie, are starting this fund raiser for our friend Katy Hertel, who has lost all her belongings in the Eaton fire.

Katy is always helping others and now we want to help her via this go fund me site for basic living expenses until she figures out her next step.

Any amount would be greatly and thankfully appreciated.

Katy's message

Hello Everyone,

On January 7th, myself, family friends and pets evacuated our home and work place in Altadena, dazed and shaken, but deeply grateful for our lives and the lives of our pets.

For the time being, each day is a list of tasks, a small percentage of which are completed, alternating back and forth with periods of processing the whole experience. In the meantime, people who care about me want to know how I'm doing, feel utterly helpless and want to offer assistance and suggestions. I would feel the exact same way if I were in your shoes.

I understand this is a platform to raise funds and thanks if you can pitch in what's comfortable for you, knowing there are countless others in need as well, on a local and global scale. Also, I hope this can be a way for me to give updates to more people I care about than I'll be able to do on a one on one basis, any time soon.
