<div>It is with heavy hearts that we reach out to you today on behalf of <strong>Jeff Garris and his family</strong>. Jeff, a retired City of Pittsburgh Police SWAT officer, has dedicated over three decades of his life to serving and protecting his community. His service as a beat cop, River Rescue pilot, and SWAT operator demonstrated his unyielding commitment and courage.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Now, he and his family are facing an unimaginable loss due to the recent devastating Pacific Palisades wildfire, and they need your help.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Jeff and his family moved to Pacific Palisades this past fall to be closer to their son Markus, a decision filled with hope for a new chapter in their lives. Unfortunately, in an unexpected turn of events, they lost everything in the fire that swept through their neighborhood. With no renter's insurance in place, there are no insurance proceeds to help them recover.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>For those of us who know Jeff, we understand what a selfless individual he is. His bravery and dedication to protecting others in some of the most dangerous situations imaginable were evident throughout his career. He is the type of person who always goes above and beyond, often putting the safety and well-being of others ahead of his own. Now, in his time of need, we have an opportunity to give back.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Jeff and his family are facing significant emotional and financial challenges as they work to rebuild their lives from the ground up. With your generous support, we hope to provide them with the resources they need to start over and heal from this tragedy.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>How You Can Help:</strong>

</div>

<div>We are asking for donations to assist Jeff and his family with immediate and long-term recovery needs, including:

</div>

<div>• Housing and living expenses

</div>

<div>• Replacing basic essentials lost in the fire (clothing, furniture, appliances)

</div>

<div>• Rebuilding their future, as they begin the difficult journey of recovery

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Every donation, no matter the size, will make a difference and provide crucial support during this incredibly challenging time.</strong> Your kindness will not only help them rebuild their lives but will also offer them the hope and strength to move forward.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Jeff and his family have always been there for others, and now, we ask that you join us in showing them the same love and support. Please consider making a donation today and sharing this campaign with your network.

</div>

<div>Thank you for your generosity, compassion, and support.

</div>

<div>Together, we can help Jeff and his family overcome this tragedy and give them the opportunity to begin again.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Sincerely,

</div>

<div>Regis P. Garris, Jr.

</div>

<div>On behalf of Jeff Garris and Family

</div>
