I'm Robin Woodcock, Austin Prosser's manager at Toast, where she works. On January 8, Austin and her husband, John, learned that their beloved home had burned to the ground in the fires sweeping the LA area. They haven't even lived in the house a full year, and have worked so hard to achieve this dream of a home for them and their two dogs, Dizzy and Miles. Our hearts go out to them as they navigate the days and weeks ahead. Hoping this small gesture can help them get back on their feet. Any support you can provide, financially or emotionally, for general relief would be so appreciated at this difficult time as they work to rebuild their life.

Here's Austin and Dizzy (big brother) --

And here's little brother (new addition to the family!) beneath their tree this year -- this living room is now totally gone.

Austin and John were so excited to decorate their first home together for the holidays -- this is their now-gone front door.

This is their lovely home before the fire.

And this is what is left. Devastating.

Note: these funds will be directly sent to Austin via bank transfer (GoFundMe asked that I add in this info) so that she and her husband can cover initial emergency costs as needed and use the funding however they most need it at this difficult time for general relief. Austin has entered her bank information so I will not be handling the money at all. I am only facilitating this fundraising effort using this platform as a friend.
