**Help Stan Abel and Family Rebuild After the Mountain Fire**

Dear friends, family, and compassionate supporters,

We are reaching out to you during an incredibly difficult time for our family and community. Recently, the devastating Mountain Fire swept through our beloved Somis & Camarillo, leaving destruction in its wake. Our father, Stan Abel, and his wife have lost everything they owned, as their home was completely engulfed in flames. This house was more than just a structure; it was a sanctuary for our entire family—a place filled with love, laughter, and countless memories. Our safe place.

Tragically, this loss extends beyond our immediate family. Our grandparents home perished in the same fire, a place that held generations of cherished moments and served as a gathering spot for our family for generations. The impact of this disaster is surreal, and the emotional toll is immeasurable. We are devastated by the loss of not just homes, but the sense of security and belonging that they provided.

We are asking for your support to help our family begin to rebuild their lives.

Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in helping them recover from this heartbreaking situation. Your generosity will help provide the essentials they need to start anew and remind them that they are not alone during this challenging time.

Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and support. Together, we can help our family and community heal and rebuild.

With gratitude,

Nicole & Erica Abel
