Ben and Kirby lost everything in the Eaton Fire

Donation protected
I'm heartbroken to learn that my friend Ben and his wife Kirby lost their home and everything in it during the Eaton fire. Ben and his family moved into their home recently after the birth of their second child, and recovery is going to be a long process.

If you work in the entertainment industry, you probably know Ben, who is a beloved TV and film writer and an active member of the WGA and IATSE. Our industry still hasn't recovered from the last few turbulent years, so entertainment workers affected by the fires face an extra daunting recovery. This fund will be used to help their family get back on stable financial footing.

You can donate:
  • here on this GoFundMe
  • via Venmo to @ben-mekler
  • or you can even send an Amazon or Target gift card to meklerfamilydonations at gmail dot com

Let's get Ben, Kirby, their two kids, and their very elderly little dog back on their feet.


(My name is Olga and I'm raising these funds for Ben and Kirby because Ben is a good friend and TV colleague of mine here in LA and I've seen how much he shows up for other people. Ben's writing partner Chris is also an admin on this page.)
