I've been a landscape horticulturist and plant grower in Los Angeles for 25+ years. The Los Angeles area fires destroyed my existing business, my current landscape projects, and my supplies and equipment. They also took my living place. I'm now living out of my car and driving it for Uber while I try to put back together my life and business.

I need your help for my work and life to survive and recover.:

1. Immediate - I need shelter, and to acquire and replace landscape materials. This will require $5,000, $2,000 of which I need ASAP.

2. Near Term - Equipment and supplies, and training for recovery projects to get back to work once the smoke has cleared: $9,500-$10,250 within 1-3 weeks.

Total Estimated Costs Now: $15,750

There will likely be additional costs, but these are my immediate needs.

PS: If you’re in the LA area and could benefit from a landscape consultation, or some trimming/pruning or irrigation work, please let me know.
