Gabriellas beloved husband Van died at the end of September 2024 after a painful fight with cancer. She was his caretaker during this mighty fight.

Now the Eaton fire has completely destroyed their house and car in Altadena. All that remains are 2 feet of ashes.

This amount of suffering is hard enough for one person to bear and then to happen all within 3 months. We would like to help Gabriella so she can focus on getting her life back together.

Her extended family has set up this fund raising effort so she can deal with all of the myriad of details required by 2 tragic events in her life. We do not want her to have to worry about the basics of food, clothing and shelter while she sorts through this painful effort.
