Anyone who has met Asher knows his incredible kindness and generosity. A theater director, artist, and healer whose innovative work has been woven into the fabric of Los Angeles' arts scene for decades, he is a beloved member of our community whose practice provides healing for many and who has organized mutual aid for many others.

Asher’s apartment burned down on Wednesday, January 8, 2025, in the Eaton Fire in Altadena, California. He evacuated with very little time to pack while the fire spread quickly through his neighborhood. As with so many others, Asher’s home is totally gone, and almost all of his belongings have been lost.

The immediate impact goes beyond the physical losses - as an artist who conducts intuitive readings from his studio, Asher's ability to work has been temporarily halted.

This fundraiser is organized by Mads Falcone, Mark Allen, and Carmina Escobar in Los Angeles on behalf of our friend Asher. We love Asher, and want to support him during this time, so we are starting this GoFundMe to give Asher a starting point for recovery. This funding will help him with the process of getting back up and having his essential survival needs supported over the next couple of months.

We know there is an unimaginable need for funds right now. By supporting each other, one person at a time, our community can help everyone affected begin to recover. Any contribution, whether financial or shared with your networks, helps strengthen our collective ability to rebuild together.

Please share this campaign within your circles. Every act of support, no matter the size, helps our creative community stay resilient in the face of this tragedy. <3
