Help Gary Rochlin & Beate Chelette Start Anew

Donation protected
I'm Aaron Horning. My father-in-law, Gary Rochlin, and his wife, Beate Chelette, just lost their beloved home in Pacific Palisades (and all their belongings) due to the Palisades fire. Gary built this home 35+ years ago. My wife and her sisters grew up in this home. Gary had his whole life in this house, including his business, and nothing was spared in the fire. Not a single thing. Not important documents, the car, not family heirlooms, not memorabilia, nothing. Gary and Bea eloped last week after 10 years together and were out of the country when this tragedy occurred, so they were not able to save anything. Her office in the Palisades village also burned down. Just an overwhelming tragedy. Please donate what you can (even a small amount helps) to help get them back on their feet. Your donation will support them in securing the basics as they work to recreate their lives from the ground up. Thank you so much. Your support (big or small) means so much to my family.
