<div>Dear Friends and Families of the Malibu Community,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Bring Under the Oaks Back to Life After the Fire
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The fire took our outdoor play spaces, toys, and yard — but it didn’t take our spirit. Help us rebuild our beloved Malibu early childhood center.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dear friends and community,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Sunshine—“Ms. Sunshine” to the children. I grew up in Malibu, attending the Carden Malibu school my grandmother founded in 1965. In 2013, I created Under the Oaks Early Childhood Center, a magical, nature-rooted preschool beneath ancient oak trees by a creek. For over a decade, it has been a nurturing home for Malibu families.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When the Palisades Fire swept through, our building survived thanks to the fire brigade, but our entire outdoor environment was destroyed. Our grounds were not insured, and we lost our outdoor play spaces, toys, gardens, fencing, play structures, and nearly all of our Waldorf-inspired materials.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My father and I have been clearing debris and repairing what we can, with the help of volunteers and our dedicated teacher, Ms. Lolli. I also became an IICRC-certified fire and smoke remediator to assist in the cleanup and restoration process.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now we’ve reached the point where we can’t continue without community support. To reopen our magical space for children, we need help rebuilding what was lost.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>⸻
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What We Need
</div>
<div>    •    $25,000 now to rebuild our yard, outdoor play spaces, fencing, and natural play structures
</div>
<div>    •    Another $25,000 over the year to rehire teachers, replace toys and materials, and fully restore our program
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Under the Oaks is more than a school. It is a place where children feel safe, connected, and surrounded by nature. A place where families find community and where generations of Malibu history live on.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation—big or small—helps us bring this space back for current and future Malibu families.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>⸻
</div>
