Please help Kari, Clint, and Nova rebuild after the fire

Like so many people in Los Angeles, our dear friends Kari, Clint, and Nova Campbell lost their house this week in the Eaton Fire in Altadena. Words can not express how tragic and sad this event has been for so many people.

For Kari, Clint, and Nova (age 6), it means losing their four pet chickens (Rain, Tiger, Tulip, and Do De Bop Bop), most of Kari's art (Kari is a accomplished artist and sculpture lecturer at CSUN), and most of their earthly possessions. Kari also lost her studio, with all of her tools and artwork, and Clint (who is a poet), lost his creative works and books.

They are safe at my parents' house with their cat Biscuit, but they just received confirmation that everything is gone. Where do you even begin to pick up the pieces and rebuild your life when everything is turned upside down like this?

This is where I hope we can all step in and help them out. If you know me (Kylee), please understand that I wouldn't be the person I am today if it weren't for Kari. She's been like a sister to me and a massive light in my life since we were very little kids. And if you know Kari, Clint, and Nova, you know that they are wonderful, amazing, fun, and funny people. Anything you can do to help them get back on their feet is very much appreciated.

They have insurance, but no doubt it will take months to sort through everything and begin to rebuild. In the meantime, they need clothes, food, and a place to live.

Much love to everyone impacted by the tragedy of these fires.
