Hello everyone!

I'm reaching out to you all today with a heavy heart and a hopeful spirit. My mom, who has always been the rock of our family, is facing some challenging times. She has been our constant source of love, support, and strength, and now she needs our help.

Recently, my mom's classroom, Room 16 at Palisades Elementary Chater School, was one of the many that burned to the ground. She wasn’t able to take anything after being evacuated with her class. Over a decade of memories gone in a flash. Despite her incredible resilience and determination, the idea of starting over has strongly affected her.

My mom is the sweetest, most hardworking, and in my own personal biased opinion, the best and most dedicated teacher I’ve seen. She has to start over with nothing, and it's becoming increasingly difficult to manage everything.

I am setting up this GoFundMe to help her rebuild her classroom and ensure she can continue to provide the amazing education her students deserve. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a significant difference and bring us one step closer to easing her burden.

Please consider donating and sharing this campaign. Your generosity and kindness will mean the world to me and my family, and we are eternally grateful for any support you can provide. Let's come together to show my mom the same love and support she has always given us.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

With love and gratitude,

Rylie and the Barbera family
