<div>Tragically, the losses didn’t end there. Along with their home, Sebastian’s grandmother and aunt also lost their homes in this disaster.
</div>
<div>Sebastian is an incredible young man, a senior in high school who is hardworking, selfless, and kind beyond words. His mother works tirelessly to support him, and I’ve been fortunate to see his dedication and resilience firsthand as his manager at work.

<div>If you feel moved and are able to contribute, I’m asking for help to support Sebastian and his family as they begin the difficult journey of restarting their lives. No amount is too small, and every bit of kindness makes a difference.

<div>Please message me if you’d like to donate or learn more. Thank you for your compassion and generosity during this heartbreaking time.
