My friend Stephen Day and his family have suffered an unimaginable loss. Their home, community, sense of security – all gone in the blink of an eye due to the devastating wildfires in LA.

Imagine waking up one morning and everything you've worked for, everything you hold dear, is reduced to ashes. That's the reality Steve and his family are facing. They are currently displaced, searching for a new place to call home, and facing the daunting task of rebuilding their lives from scratch.

Right now, they need the essentials: shelter, food, clothing. Once they find a place to live, they'll need to furnish it and replace the everyday items we often take for granted.

Your generosity, no matter the amount, can make a tangible difference in their lives. It can help provide a warm meal, a safe place to sleep, and a rising sun of hope during this incredibly difficult time.

Even if you cannot contribute financially, please keep my friend Stephen and his family in your thoughts and prayers. Every bit of support, whether financial or emotional, is deeply appreciated. ~ Your heart will rise, Right as Rain.
