Williams Family Seeking Essentials and Shelter

<div><strong>About the fund</strong>
</div>
<div>Wildfires that strike quickly and burn out of control have become increasingly common in the western United States. These fires claim lives, destroy homes and property, and expose communities to harmful smoke. Each year, hundreds of people create fundraisers on the GoFundMe platform asking for help in the wake of a destructive wildfire.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fund was created to provide direct relief to people in need after a wildfire. Your tax-deductible donation will ensure this fund can support as many people as possible as soon as a disaster strikes.

<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Who we help</strong>
</div>
<div>We deliver cash grants directly to those impacted by domestic (U.S.) wildfires. We grant to verified individuals who qualify and are fundraising for themselves or on behalf of someone else. We may also provide grants to fundraisers benefiting small businesses and community relief efforts, or to vetted nonprofits coordinating long-term recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why donate to this fund?</strong>

Wildfire Relief Fund 2025

<div>In the early hours of January 8, 2025, the community of Pacific Palisades was abruptly transformed as a relentless wildfire swept through the area. Among the many affected is our dear friend, Amber Feld, and her family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Their home, filled with many sweet memories, was reduced to ashes. Their car, essential for daily life and son’s school commute, was destroyed. Even her son’s school, Marquez Charter School, a place of learning, growth, and community is gone. In a matter of hours, the foundations of their lives were gone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Despite this profound loss, Amber's resilience shines through. She remains steadfast, providing comfort and hope to her son, even as they face the daunting task of rebuilding their lives from the ground up.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Amber has always been the first to offer help to others, embodying the spirit of generosity and community. Even after the recent loss of her mother, Amber's light and joy always shines through. Her family needs our support. Your contribution, no matter the size, will make a significant impact, providing the resources and hope necessary for them to rebuild their lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In this time of need, we have established a GoFundMe campaign to support Amber and her family. Please consider donating to their GoFundMe page and sharing their story within your networks. Together, we can help them rebuild.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Together, with Keri Noel, Marisa Leichtling, and Alia Mansoori, we are raising funds for Amber and her family. We are friends of Amber's through college (Arizona State) and through our time working and living together in New York City. With Love, Coleen Sanders

Help Amber Feld's Family Rebuild After Wildfire

<div>Hi friends! My name is Howard Godfrey and I'm going into my senior year at Berklee College of Music!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Over the past few years, so many beautiful friends and strangers have helped me pay for my education by raising $100,000 for my tuition, which I am <strong>eternally</strong> grateful for! The generosity and support of <em>so</em> many people put me through my first two years and have allowed to learn a lot wonderful things and create so much beautiful art.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Junior year was covered with loans and the small amount of federal aid that I received. While I <em>did</em> take a gap semester during the Spring of my Junior year, I returned this Summer to complete some classes! Due to the loans we currently have out, we are not eligible for another. This news has come at a rather unfortunate time as my tuition for the Fall '24 semester in due on August 8th (thanks to the 1-week extension I've been granted to try to figure out my financial situation).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since starting at Berklee, I've met so many wonderful people and life-long friends. I've gotten to work with some extremely talented musicians, and have grown as an artist and a person. I've gotten the opportunity to stage two of my original musicals, release 2 musical theatre cast recordings (with a 3rd in the works), record a 30-piece orchestra playing my original music, play on <em>numerous</em> sessions, perform with <em>amazing </em>musicians, and learn more about production than I thought I'd <em>ever</em> be interested in. Berklee has given me <em>so</em> many tools and opened up many doors. So many people have put their faith <em>me</em> -- some random kid who made a TikTok a few years ago -- and have invested in me and my dream, and I've made it my goal to pay <em>all </em>of those people back by doing the best I can in school and putting every resource to use.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While I hate asking for things, I know I'm too close to finishing this journey to give up now. Thus, I'm putting aside my pride and asking for help from anyone who feels it in their heart to give. Anything and everything helps!
</div>

<div>Every Thanksgiving, I volunteer at The Bowery Mission. This year, we have high goals to feed the growing number of people and families in need even beyond Thanksgiving.

<div><strong>The Bowery Mission is a place of welcome, care, and healing in New York City.</strong> The Bowery Mission has served neighbors experiencing homelessness and hunger since the 1870s, when its neighborhood came to define the term “skid row.”

<div>The wildfires in Los Angeles have had a heartbreaking impact, especially on Black families from the Pasadena/Altadena region. As a community-rooted effort, Community Aid Dena, AFROPUNK, and WalkGood LA came together to amplify the GoFundMe Campaigns of Black families displaced by the Eaton Fire, through a consolidated list entitled <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pK5omSsD4KGhjEHCVgcVw-rd4FZP9haoijEx1mSAm5c/edit?gid=0#gid=0" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Displaced Black Families GoFundMe Directory</a>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Powered by Flavor Flav, this fundraiser further amplifies the collective efforts to generate funds in support of Black families as they navigate displacement, loss of income, grief, essential needs in the short-term as they seek to rebuild.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Black community in Altadena shares a rich, historic, and resilient legacy, one spanning multiple generations. They paved a way for themselves through the Great Migration, segregation, redlining, and more to establish a community where their families could build, grow, and celebrate life together. Now, generations later they face an unimaginable tragedy brought on by the LA county wildfires.
</div>
