While many of us in the Palisades community are dealing with the aftermath of losing our beloved homes, we are also all too aware that many in the community have lost their livelihoods as a result of the tragic wildfires on January 7th. 

Among those affected are our neighborhood gardener Jose Enriquez, and his son, Israel. Jose has been my parent’s gardener for over three decades. He and his son have also been an essential part of our neighborhood, working to transform the outdoor spaces of our homes, churches, and businesses into beautiful, thriving gardens. 

Any contribution, no matter how small, will go a long way in helping Jose and his family find their footing during this challenging chapter as they search for new job opportunities in the LA area.
