Naomi Louise Warne and Gabe Deibel - Malibu fires

PLEASE HELP US GET THIS BEAUTIFUL FAMILY BACK ON THEIR FEET AGAIN!
On November 8th, our dear friends, my Aussie mate, Naomi Louise Warne and her son, Gabe Deibel, lost their beautiful home when it burned to the ground in the Malibu fires. Thankfully, they both escaped with their sweet old dog, Annie, but their magical cottage, home to them for over 20 years, and all but a few of their treasured possessions, went up in flames.
Gabe managed to grab his mum's keyboard and his guitars, but their antique pianos, amps, mics and every thing else was lost, along with his deceased father's award winning, irreplaceable art.
9 years ago, Naomi's wonderful husband and Gabe's devoted father, Vic Deibel passed away from cancer. To say the last 9 years has been a struggle is a massive understatement but throughout, Naomi's amazing spirit has continued to shine with endless love and positivity, no matter how tough things got. Her kindness and generosity is unparalleled; literally 'giving you the clothes' off her back and anything else she had, when she didn't have it to give.
Loss of Income
For the past few years, Naomi and Gabe had moved out of the cottage and into Vic's one-room art workshop on the property so they could rent the cottage on AirBnB to pay the bills. Naomi, a renowned musician and singer songwriter, was also playing local gigs and teaching piano lessons, but now, with their home burned to the ground, and much of their musical equipment also destroyed, their sources of income are gone.
Right now they desperately need financial help so they can find somewhere to live until they can rebuild. Gabe, also a gifted musician, is currently attending Santa Monica College's music program and needs help to continue his education . Annie, their sweet old dog, hasn't been doing well and really needs some medical help too.
Funds will go towards essentials like food and clothing, but they also need help covering their mortgage, as they have lost all sources of income. Gabe desperately needs a computer so he can finish his semester at Santa Monica college. He can't study for his exams or write his essays without a computer so that is a priority.
Every precious and priceless memory of the three of them, was in that house...and no amount of money can bring that back...but it will give them a chance to start again, and build new memories on the land that remains.
Whatever contribution you can make to help these wonderful people get back on their feet, whether it's a donation or even just sharing this post, would be greatly appreciated!
Love and gratitude, to all of you!

The Future
Naomi's dream was always to have this sacred space as a healing center for learning, practicing, growing and all forms of healing modalities.
"The dream remains and like the PHOENIX, we will rise from the ashes and we will return.
We are overwhelmed by the countless random acts of kindness and love from strangers❤️ too many to count ❤️❤️❤️ ... true Miracles.
Thank you for the outpouring of love & concern. We love you❤️"
