Arizona to LA Fire Relief Initiative: Help Families Rebuild After the Wildfires
In just a few days, an incredible outpouring of love and generosity has brought this initiative to life in ways we never imagined. What started as a simple idea—gathering donations to support those affected by the devastating fires in California—has turned into a community-driven movement of hope, compassion, and action.
What We’ve Done So Far
With your support, we successfully delivered two 26-foot moving trucks and two 6x12 box trailers, packed to the brim with essentials, clothing, and supplies. These donations—thoughtfully prepared, folded, and packaged—came from hundreds of people across Arizona who simply wanted to make a difference. Every single bag and box represented more than just items; they represented love and care for families who lost everything.
After much prayer and coordination, we partnered with Fearless LA, a dynamic organization based in Los Angeles, to distribute these donations. Fearless LA has captured our hearts with their mission to be a beacon of hope in their community. They are tirelessly supporting not only victims of the fires but also providing refuge and resources to anyone in need. Their work goes far beyond just meeting physical needs—they bring people love, dignity, and the comfort of knowing they’re not alone.
What’s Next
We’re not stopping here. The need remains great, and we’re focusing our next efforts on supporting 300 firefighters and their families, who have been sacrificing so much to keep these communities safe. These brave men and women leave their homes daily, not knowing if they’ll return. Their spouses and children also carry this burden, making incredible sacrifices in the process.
To show our appreciation, we are assembling care packs specifically designed to bless these families. Each pack will include thoughtful items such as:
Gift cards (restaurants, coffee shops, spas)
High-quality coffee beans and mugs
Small treats and personal notes of encouragement
Other items to bring comfort and joy
Additionally, we are working with Fearless LA to help organize and sort the overwhelming amount of donations they’ve received. Our goal is to provide them with garment racks and shelving to create a space where families in need can browse donations as if shopping in a store—restoring dignity and ease to those who are rebuilding their lives.
How You Can Help
Your contributions make this all possible. Every dollar donated helps us:
Purchase new items for care packs (socks, underwear, gift cards, etc.)
Cover transportation costs for future donation deliveries
Provide essential items to those directly impacted by the fires
We are planning another delivery next Friday, and we need your help to make it as impactful as possible. Whether it’s through financial support, spreading the word, or connecting us with resources, you are part of this movement.
Why This Matters
We believe this initiative is more than just donating items—it’s about answering a call to be God’s hands and feet in action. It’s about showing love to people who need it most, in their darkest moments. The generosity of our Arizona community has been overwhelming, and together, we’re proving what’s possible when people unite for good.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of this journey. Please consider donating, sharing this fundraiser, or reaching out with other ways you can help. Together, we’re making a lasting impact. ❤️
