Evan and Caitlin need our help!

My name is Jimmy apRoberts and I'm writing this to gather support for my longtime friends, Evan and Caitlin Chambers. Evan and Caitlin lost their home and all of their possessions to the Eaton Fire in Altadena. They were able to evacuate with their small children, Edie and John, and their three dogs, but had to leave everything else behind - their clothes, their tools, and anything that provides any sort of comfort or sense of normal. They also lost the home studio that they built over the last three years. If you know Evan and Caitlin, you know how important that is to their livelihood.

In the very short term, they face the challenges of finding temporary housing, clothing and groceries, and replacing the tools and other everyday items that they lost. I can't begin to imagine what replacing all of these basic necessities will cost.

Like so many right now, Evan and Caitlin need the help of their community, so I am asking you to help in whatever way you can.

I set up this GoFundMe page to help ease the enormous financial burden of this unimaginable loss. Every dollar raised will go directly to Evan and Caitlin to help them:

• Find a safe and stable place to stay in the immediate aftermath

• Purchase clothing, food, and essentials for their children and pets

• Begin the long journey of rebuilding their lives

No amount is too small, and every bit of support will make a meaningful difference. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this page with your friends and networks. Together, we can help Evan, Caitlin, Edie and John at the time when they need it the most.

Thank you for your support.
