Palisades Fire Relief for Cristina & Jon

Eric Trabb and I have set up this GoFundMe for our friends Cristina and Jon, who lost their home in the Palisades Fire last week. We have worked with Cristina for more than 20 years (at companies including NewBay, Future and NAB) and know that she'd never make this request herself, so we're asking for donations on her behalf.

In addition to losing the place they've called home for 25 years, Cristina and Jon lost nearly everything else – all of their clothes and furniture, their belongings, and their sense of stability. They are safe and have found temporary housing for the time being, but rebuilding from such a loss is overwhelming. We want to rally around them during this incredibly challenging time.

We’ve set up a GoFundMe to help ease the financial burden of starting over – from securing temporary housing to replacing essential items and navigating the road ahead. Any contribution, big or small, will make a difference and show them they’re not alone in this.

Funds raised will be used to purchase clothes and food, and will help them pay for short-term housing until they can find a new permanent home.

If you can, please donate and share this message with others who know and care about Jon and Cristina. Together, we can help them start over.
