<div><strong>100% of the proceeds will support healing the emotional and mental trauma of children and families devastated by the Southern California fires. These funds will be used to provide free mental health tools, resources, and programs to those in need.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We at the <strong>Inspiring Children Foundation</strong> have created this GoFundMe to provide vital mental health programming and support to survivors and those affected by the Southern California fires.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Addressing the emotional and psychological well-being of individuals impacted by this tragedy is crucial for fostering long-term recovery. Your generosity will help bring healing, hope, and a supportive community to those in need during this challenging time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Whether we raise $100 or $100,000, every dollar will be used to make a meaningful impact.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This initiative is inspired by the extraordinary volunteer efforts of <strong>Kerry Clasby</strong>, a community leader in Southern California who turned personal tragedy into a mission to uplift others.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>During the Woolsey Fire, Kerry lost her home, her business, and 30 years of dreams and hard work. After rebuilding, she faced further devastation during the COVID-19 shutdown. Despite these unimaginable challenges, Kerry emerged as a beacon of hope, guiding her community through healing and rebuilding efforts.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Through this fundraiser, we aim to support Kerry in creating a <strong>community of healing</strong> at her <strong>Malibu Fig Ranch</strong>, located at Sterling Farms on Pacific Coast Highway. The farm has become a sanctuary of restoration, providing resources and mentorship to those impacted by disasters such as the Woolsey Fire, COVID-19, and now the Southern California fires.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Our Mission</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With your support, Kerry and her farm will serve as a hub for delivering critical <strong>social, emotional, and mental health resources</strong> to families in need. Drawing from her lived experiences, Kerry and other lived experience experts will guide individuals on a path to healing, helping them process trauma, rediscover hope, and rebuild their lives, one person, one family at a time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Kerry’s leadership and personal experience of losing everything uniquely position her to mentor and support others on their journey to recovery. With your help, together we will build a program and community rooted in healing, growth, and love.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Your Tax-Deductible Donation Will Fund:</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Healing Circles, Retreats, and Mentoring. Facilitated by Kerry, lived-experience leaders, mental health experts, and peer-to-peer programming.
</li>
<li>Free Organic Meals. Kerry’s farm will provide free meals, creating a safe and supportive space for those affected by trauma.
</li>
<li>Social, Emotional, and Mental Health Support Programs and tools to help families process grief and trauma.
</li>
<li>Emergency Resources. Including organic food and assistance in finding shelter whenever possible.
</li>
<li>Financial Assistance Grants. A portion of the proceeds will go toward supporting individuals financially during their recovery.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a volunteer, Kerry has already demonstrated her effectiveness in helping her community heal. With your help, she will continue to make a remarkable impact.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As the world recognizes the trauma and tragedy of losing everything to wildfires, we remain committed to showing those affected that hope, healing, and support are available.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Together, We Can Make a Difference.</strong>
