Dear friends,

I’m reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for your support for my family in Chile. On January 21st, 2026, devastating fires swept through the city of Penco, and my aunt and uncle lost everything. Their home, their belongings, their sense of safety—gone in a single night.

You can imagine the horror of waking up to flames surrounding your home and having only moments to escape. My aunt also suffered burns on her face and arm while trying to get to safety. They are grateful to be alive, but the road ahead is overwhelming.

With winter approaching, they urgently need help to rebuild, stay warm, and cover basic necessities as they try to start again from nothing. I’m hoping to send them some much-needed support so they can keep moving forward with dignity and hope.

Any contribution—big or small—will make a meaningful difference. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness, generosity, and compassion.

With immense gratitude,

Alejandra
