Dear Friends,

Our hearts are broken to share that our parents, Debi and Joe Velez, along with our younger brother, Leo, and our dog, Willow, lost our home of 18 years in the Palisades fire on January 8th. As pillars of both our local Palisades and Buddhist communities, they've touched countless lives with their kindness and wisdom.

Many have asked how they can help, so we were inspired to create a GoFundMe to express support and cover immediate needs. Whether you can donate or simply share their story, your support means everything during this difficult time.

With love,

Kimara & Joey Velez
