Mom & Son both lose homes to fire

Donation protected
PLEASE HELP! A dear friend of mine who who I grew up with, Rafael Means, and his mother, Elise Nilsen, BOTH lost their homes to the horrific Woolsey fire this past week. Rafael lived in Agoura Hills and his mother lived in Malibu. They have both lost everything and additionally together have 2 horses, 3 dogs and 2 cats that are currently displaced. They are two beautiful people; animal and nature lovers and beloved members of the community. Rafael would be the first to give the shirt off of his back to anyone in need, and those that know him can attest to this and his kind heart. Although both are safe along with the animals, they are navigating getting back on their feet in light of the devastation. When talking to people who have lost their homes often they can’t even tell you what they need as they are in a state of shock. I can’t imagine trying to process it and I’m so sad for everyone that has experienced loss. Please help Rafael and Elise get the necessities they need so they can begin rebuilding their lives! ANYTHING helps!!! Thank you in advance!
