Support My Family's Recovery from Los Angeles Fires

In the blink of an eye, my family's entire world was turned upside down. The Pacific Palisades fire destroyed our family home where we have lived for over a decade now—the place where so many of our memories were made. It wasn’t just a house; it was the heart of our family, the dream house my mother worked her entire life to achieve, and the sanctuary that held years of love, laughter, and joy.

Now, we find ourselves displaced, with the whole family and our dog living in a single hotel room, trying to process the enormity of what we’ve lost. The fire took not just our home, but countless irreplaceable treasures including my grandmother’s paintings, the last tangible memories of her life and her creativity, are gone. My father, a musician who poured his soul into his music, lost all his instruments. All family photos, including countless photo albums of my brother and I growing up are now gone forever. Even my car, parked outside the house, has been reduced to a melted shell.

This was the house where I grew up since I was 14—a place filled with the echoes of family celebrations, late-night talks, and shared dreams. My mother, who spent years creating this beautiful home, is beyond devastated. My father, who was looking forward to retiring this year, now faces the heartbreaking reality that he may have to postpone those plans to help us recover.

The weight of this loss is overwhelming, but we are holding onto hope. With your kindness and generosity, we can begin to rebuild. Your donation will help us find stable housing in the short term and take the first steps toward recovery in the long term.

This is a painful chapter in our lives, but with your support, my family can start to turn the page. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings my family closer to finding stability and rebuilding during this time.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Your compassion means the world to me.
