Support Derek's Journey to Recover From Wildfire Tragedy

Donation protected
Hey everyone,

Our friend Derek Russell has faced unimaginable loss in the past month. Just weeks ago, he buried his father, with whom he shared his home. Tragically, that same home has now been destroyed by the devastating wildfires in Altadena. In this short time, Derek has lost everything—his father’s belongings, his own possessions, and the place he called home.

Derek is now in urgent need of support as he navigates this overwhelming challenge. He needs to find a place to stay, replace essential items, and restart so much of his life from scratch. The road ahead is daunting, but with your generosity, we can help lighten his burden and give him hope.

Please consider donating to Derek’s GoFundMe page to assist him during this incredibly difficult time. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference. Together, we can help Derek regain his footing and remind him that he is not alone.

Thank you for your kindness and support.
