Ready to Serve: Support My CAL FIRE Path

Hi everyone,

My name is Eliza Perez and I am setting this GoFundMe up for support!

After completing a two-year program with the California Conservation Corps, I’m proud to share that I’ve been hired by CAL FIRE to begin my career in wildfire prevention and emergency response. This is a huge step forward for me, and something I’ve worked hard toward. A few months after finishing the CCC program, I got the call — and now, things are moving fast.

To get started, I need to cover the cost of essential gear, uniforms, and supplies required for the job. On top of that, I’m now preparing to relocate from Riverside to Northern California for this position. As you can imagine, the moving costs and startup expenses are adding up quickly. I’m asking for support from friends, family, and anyone willing to help as I make this big transition into a career I’m passionate about.

Any contribution — big or small — will go directly toward helping me be fully prepared and safely equipped for this new role. Thank you so much for your support as I take this next step.

Thank you for your time and support — it really means a lot.
