Our hearts are heavy as we share the loss of our beloved father, Omar. Our family is grieving and trying to hold each other together through one of the hardest times in our lives. He was a loving father, and his absence has left a deep ache in our hearts that words can’t fully describe. At this time, we are asking for help so we can give him a proper goodbye and celebrate his life. All donations are expected to go towards the cost of the service, burial, and other related funeral expenses. Any support, whether through a donation or by sharing this fundraiser, truly means so much to us. Thank you for your kindness, your support, and for keeping our family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Help Us Honor Omar, Our Beloved Father

<div>Today, 7/14/25, <strong>my best friend's mom was kidnapped by ICE</strong>. Mila is a hardworking college student who needs help covering legal expenses so that we may get legal representation for her mother. <strong>This situation is extremely heartbreaking and horrifying, please help us aid Mila in fighting for her mom.</strong>

<strong>Please help me pay for Junebug's surgery.  And to bring him home. </strong><br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/49712680_1594958144387588_r.jpeg" alt="49712680_1594958144387588_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" />This is Junebug. He is a curious cat and a little bit of a troublemaker (I've lost so many hairbands.) Above all, he is family. I love Junebug even more than some of my older siblings.  And he is Everything to my mom. <br /><br />I met Junebug when he was just 8 weeks old. He could barely fit in the palms of my hands. I offered to foster him and his sister Moonbug from Kitten Rescue. It was only supposed to be for two weeks but you know how it goes...they became family right away. My older cat bonded with them immediately and they just made coming home feel like taking a breath of fresh air.  <br /><br /><br />***Thank you to everyone who donated. ****<br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/49712680_1595212201988100_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="49712680_1595212201988100_r.jpeg" /><br />UPDATE: Junebug is back home! His surgery was a success and he is back home resting. He'll be spending the next 4 weeks in recovery in a secure space so that he doesn't walk too much on his leg. Thank you to everyone who donated and shared the link. I could not have done this without you. I am so grateful. <br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/49712680_1595212264326570_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="49712680_1595212264326570_r.jpeg" />Junebug is so happy to be back home with our older cat and his sister Moonbug. :)

<div><strong>WE'VE CHANGED DONATION PLATFORMS (and fiscal sponsors:) Please </strong><a href="https://tinyurl.com/MALANdonate" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>DONATE here!</strong></a> 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><a href="https://www.mutualaidla.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Mutual Aid LA Network</strong></a> is a connector and information hub for mutual aid efforts and needs across Los Angeles. We believe in an abundant world that can be freed of oppression through community solidarity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When you donate to MALAN your funds go toward…
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Hygiene Hello!: </strong>We’re always on the hunt for free hygiene supplies (shampoo, sunscreen, personal care wipes, nail files, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, etc.), donated by a company, your favorite dentist or your neighbor who travels a lot and never uses the hotel freebies. What we can’t source for free, we purchase. We do this until we have enough supply to hold a Hygiene Hello! Kit Build where we assemble over 200 hygiene kits to go out to unhoused folks throughout Los Angeles county. Builds occur every ~6 weeks.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Supplies for Unhoused Neighbors: </strong>This group isn’t based in just one neighborhood, so between those of us that live in The Valley and those of us that live in Palms or Echo Park, we cover a lot of ground. Many of us engage in consistent outreach to our unhoused neighbors, which often means distributing food, clothing, socks and shoes and supplies like tents, tarps, towels, blankets and pillows, most of which we source for free. Similar to the hygiene kits, we purchase what we aren’t able to source and funds raised here go toward that.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cl4uOuHggs6/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Produce in the Park</strong></a>: A weekly food distribution event where rescued produce goes out to members of the community of University Park near USC and to community fridges throughout Los Angeles. This is a low-cost operation but money is needed for water and sometimes for clear produce bags.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Redi$tribution to other Mutual Aid Groups:</strong> We are constantly learning about, collaborating with and developing relationships with so many amazing groups doing vital, life-affirming work throughout the county and we love to share any wealth that comes in so that comrades all over LA can keep caring for their communities. We are a network after all!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Direct Cash Aid:</strong> Nobody knows an individual’s needs/wants better than that individual. So in a world that makes accessing money incredibly difficult for members of communities marginalized by race, class, gender, and/or immigration status, amongst other identities, we believe in the importance of giving cash straight up, no strings attached.
