Help Isabel Pappani Rebuild After Fire Tragedy

Dear Friends,

As many of you know, Los Angeles is currently grappling with one of the most devastating fires and windstorms in recent memory. Tragically, our dear friend and colleague Isabel Pappani has lost her beloved home to the relentless flames, along with everything she owned—her clothes, personal belongings, and household items.

Isabel was evacuated on Tuesday night as the Eaton Fire surged uncontrollably, leaving a path of destruction that claimed her home. It’s difficult to fathom the depth of loss she is experiencing, especially as she has always been a pillar of generosity, kindness, and support to everyone she encounters. Isabel has given so much to so many—both professionally and personally—and it’s now time for us to come together and offer our help in her time of need.

This tragedy is compounded by another recent loss—her precious pup Rocco, her partner-in-crime for 13 years, passed away just over the holidays. The emotional toll of losing both her home and her companion is truly unimaginable.

Isabel is left with very little—just a few pairs of clothes and shoes—while the process of rebuilding her life begins from scratch. So I have personally created this GoFundMe page for Isabel and I know my colleagues - Rachel, Rebecca, Pip, Laura, Andrés and Neal join me to ask for your support, no matter how small, to help her rebuild her home, her life, and her spirit. Every donation counts and will go directly to helping Isabel recover from this horrific tragedy.

Please note: All donations will go directly to Isabel's personal benefit and are not being solicited by (or processed through) Australians in Film or Australians in Film Foundation, and will not be Tax Deductible.

Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity.

Warmly,

Peter Ritchie.
