Help 2 Beloved Musicians Recover After Total Loss from Fire

Last week, my parents, Steven and Diane Chesne, two lifelong musicians from Pacific Palisades, lost their home and everything they owned in the devastating Palisades fire. This wasn’t just their house—it was the heart of their music, their life’s work, and countless memories.

For years, they’ve been pillars of the local music community, creating, teaching, and inspiring others through their artistry. Now, in an instant, everything they’ve built is gone. The fire destroyed not only their home but also their recording equipment, cherished compositions, teaching materials, and irreplaceable instruments and music.

With no home and no tools to continue their work, my parents are facing an uphill battle to rebuild their lives. I’m raising funds to help them get back on their feet and begin the long process of restoring their ability to make music.

How You Can Help
Your contribution will go directly toward:

• Rebuilding their teaching, recording, and music setup so they can return to work.

• Helping them meet day-to-day living expenses as they navigate this incredibly challenging time.

This tragedy has left our family heartbroken. The loss of our home—my childhood home—has been devastating, but what hurts even more is seeing my parents’ life’s work and spirit so deeply impacted.

My parents have always given so much to others through their music. Now, they need the help of friends, family, and kind strangers to get back on their feet.

Please donate if you can, and share this fundraiser with others who might be able to help. Every bit of support brings them closer to rebuilding their lives and returning to the music that has touched so many hearts.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity during this difficult time.
