If you're like me, you were glued to the TV these past couple of days praying for the safety of loved ones and friends in harms way of the Palisades and Eaton fires. Unfortunately, those prayers were not enough for my dear friend Marianne who lost everything in the Eaton fire. She was left with only the clothes on her back.

I've set up this Go Fund Me page to help her get back on her feet and get some of the basic essentials she will need to do so. Nothing can replace personal mementos lost, but financial assistance for clothing, toiletries, furniture, some appliances, and money to find another place to live/rent will help tremendously as she deals with the emotional and financial toll this will no doubt take on her.

Another option to support her is electronic gift cards in lieu of a donation. Some suggestions are Target, Costco, CVS, Ralphs, Amazon, Visa etc. You can contact Marianne directly to identify how to get those sent to her email (I cannot list it here).

Anything you can provide will be greatly appreciated by all of us who love her and want to help.
