Hello, my name is Michelle Romero and I am a dear friend of Anna Alexandrovna Pravdenko. Anna’s home and everything she knew and loved as her home is now gone. Her home in the Palisades was destroyed in a single night along with all that she owned. Everything is so uncertain as her world has fallen into incurable pieces and ashes, anything you can do to donate to Anna get back onto her feet would be very appreciated. Funds will be used to help replace personal belongings that were lost in the fire as she had no renters insurance. Let us come together and help lift her beautiful soul back on her feet. Thank you for any donation, everything helps at this deeply saddening time. Thank you.

“Dear friends, I do not have any home renters insurance.

I didn't own the house, I just rented part of it.

Unfortunately, none of my losses will be covered.

Everything I owned is now gone

-

Important paperwork, my medical doctor diploma, everything is burned to ashes...

just like my heart right now

-

My heart is so broken. I’m talking about more than just material loss. It’s about losing life the entire city, the energy, the lifestyle activities the home the safety the peace. The peace is what I’m grieving the most. There is no such a place like Palisades. It still feels surreal, but also extremely painful at the same time because I went there and so everything with my own eyes and I stood on ashes, I was one of the first people who got there on Wednesday afternoon…. 

-

The entire city—the most peaceful, beautiful place surrounded by nature, located between the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Monica Mountains—was reduced to ashes. The damage is insane. The nature is devastated.

-

The animals… all gone. All killed.

I am so mad. I am so sad. It is horrible. My heart and thousands of people screaming in pain right now mourning their losses. It still feels surreal to me, even though I was one of the first people to visit the area the morning after the fire. I couldn’t bear to wait any longer to see it. When I finally saw it, I fell to the ground on my knees and wailed like the whole world died……

my heart shattered into millions of pieces...

It was the most beautiful place I have ever lived”
