Show Your Support for Catherine

Our hearts are heavy as we share that our beloved Strand Hill team member, Catherine von Ruden, and her husband, Martin, have lost their home in the devastating fires sweeping through Pacific Palisades. Catherine is more than just part of our community—she is a source of joy, warmth, and kindness to everyone who knows her.

In this moment of incredible loss, Catherine and Martin are facing the challenge of starting over. We want to show them the love and support of the community they’ve poured so much into over the years.

We’ve started this GoFundMe to help as they navigate this difficult time. Every donation—big or small—will ease some of their immediate stress and allow them to focus on healing and moving forward.

Catherine has always given her heart to others, and now we have the chance to give back to her.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and for showing Catherine and Martin that they are not alone. Please consider donating and sharing this fundraiser to spread the word.

Together, we can help Catherine and Martin feel the strength of a community that cares deeply for them.

All funds received will go to non-disaster related expenses.
