Hi, we are Morris & Liz, and I’m starting this fundraiser for my dear friends Trista and Merten, who recently experienced a devastating loss. Their apartment and everything they own is gone. Most importantly, Trista's beloved dog grooming van, Dog-go-bus, was tragically destroyed in the Pacific Palisades fire.

This van was not just a vehicle; it was her livelihood and dream, built from the ground up to provide a much-needed mobile grooming service to the dog community in the Pacific Palisades area. She will use the fund to get a new van to continue with the dog grooming business she worked so hard to build.

On 1/7/2025, Trista's grooming van was lost in a sudden and unexpected fire. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but the van, along with all the tools, equipment, and memories it held, was completely destroyed. This has left Trista heartbroken and unable to continue her work, which is her passion and sole source of income.
