Dear Friends,

I know all of you, especially all of you who have been a part of the The Garden Co-op community over the years have been nurtured by the warmth and wisdom of JJ Brake. And I also know her reach extends beyond our school and there are many others who have been recipients of her care. JJ has been a force supporting our families for decades and now it is our turn to support her. JJ's husband, Michael Brake has touched many lives with his music and over 20 years of editing some of people's most beloved tv shows and movies. Their beautiful family has lost their home to the devastating Eaton Fire. Michael's entire sound studio and equipment has been wiped out. The road ahead will be challenging...AND if I know one thing about our community it's that we always show up for each other. Please do what you can. The funds collected will solely be used to cover unexpected expenses that are not being covered by any other disaster relief aid. Thank you and stay safe. --Lisa
