<div>Dear friends, family, and compassionate supporters,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Devra (one of Cindy's closest friends since college) and I, Jenny, (Cindy's sister) are reaching out with heavy hearts to ask for your help in supporting sweet <strong>Cindy, Benjamin, and their three beautiful daughters</strong>, who have tragically lost their home in the Palisades fire. This devastating wildfire tore through their community, destroying everything they’ve worked so hard to build, leaving them with nothing but the clothes on their backs and the memories they hold dear.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The Loss:</strong>
</div>
<div>The Palisades fire destroyed their home and most of their belongings, leaving them displaced and unsure of where to turn next. Cindy, Benjamin, and their girls are facing the harsh reality of starting over from scratch. The loss is not just material—it’s emotional. Years of memories, family treasures, and cherished belongings are gone in an instant.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How You Can Help:</strong>
</div>
<div>The road to recovery will be long, and Cindy, Benjamin, and the girls need our support to rebuild their lives. Our goal is to raise <strong>$100,000</strong> to help them with:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Helping cover immediate needs during displacement, such as alternative housing and day-to-day essentials
</div>
<div>Replacing personal and household items that may not be fully covered by other sources
</div>
<div>Supporting efforts to rebuild stability and a sense of normalcy for the family
</div>
<div>Providing a foundation for emotional and practical support during this challenging time
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Every donation—big or small—will make a difference.</strong> Whether it’s a small contribution to help with immediate expenses, or a larger gift to help them rebuild their lives, your generosity will mean the world to this family.  These funds will go directly to the family to cover immediate needs not covered by FEMA or insurance.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>A Message from Cindy and Benjamin:</strong>
</div>
<div>“We can’t begin to express how thankful we are for the love and support we’ve already received. It’s been an incredibly difficult time, but knowing that we have a strong community behind us gives us hope for the future. We are so grateful for any help you can offer—whether it’s a donation or simply sharing our campaign with others. Every little bit helps, and we are beyond thankful for your kindness and generosity.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Thank You:</strong>
</div>
<div>Please share this campaign with anyone you know who may be able to help. Cindy, Benjamin, and their girls are strong, but they can’t do this alone. Let’s come together and show them that even in the face of tragedy, kindness, love, and community can shine through.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With heartfelt gratitude,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jenny Waddell and Devra Schwartz
