Dear Friends, Family, and Compassionate Strangers,

January 7, my world was turned upside down. Everything I had worked so hard to build is gone.

Through all of this, I am deeply grateful I managed to evacuate in time. After enduring nine hours in gridlocked traffic, under a cloud of dark smoke around me, raining ashes, and tree branches landing on my car, I made it out safely. While I’m thankful for being safe, the loss I’m facing is overwhelming.

Your kindness and generosity will help me get back on my feet.

Every donation, no matter how small, brings me closer to finding stability again. If you’re unable to donate, sharing my story with your network would mean the world to me.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity, compassion, and support during this incredibly difficult time.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Zayra
