Support for Barrett, Chelsea, and Baby Teddy
Donation protected
My name is Sarah Meister. My cousin Barrett, his amazing wife Chelsea, and their darling 11 month old baby Teddy lost their home to the Palisades Fire on January 7th, 2025. As they hold each other close and start anew, they are receiving kind and generous offers from far-flung family and friends asking—as I have been, as I’m sure you have been—“how can we help?”
This page is for all of us who love Barrett, Chelsea, and Teddy to pool our efforts in a way that makes things simple for them amidst all of this devastation.
On their behalf, thank you for your support.
The funds raised by this GoFundMe will be used towards evacuation costs and the first 3 months of temporary housing.
