Help Michael's Family Rebuild After Fire

On January 7, 2025, the devastating Palisades fire tore through LA and destroyed Michael De-Leon's sister's condo where his nephew and niece live. This family home was to be the home they would share with his mother and father, who were planning on moving from the Philippines to California to retire and receive medical care. With the mandatory evacuation, his nephew and sister left with only the clothes on their backs and lost everything they owned. Both kids are in college and are doing their best to work through this.
