Help Melissa's Family Rebuild After Eaton Fire

Donation protected




Melissa Merritt and her amazing kids, June (age 9) and Elliot (age 6), tragically lost their home and all of their belongings in the devastating Altadena Eaton Fire.
 
In addition to the trauma of fleeing the fire, their beautiful home and everything that made their home a home, is gone. It's heartbreaking.
 
Melissa is a single mom, who bravely has been battling breast cancer over the past year. Amidst the chemo & radiation, she still remains one of the happiest, and most inspiring, person I know, finding the humor in tough situations. She's an incredible mother and friend who is training to be a nurse, while working and going through a health crisis. She contributes a great deal to this world.
 
Let's shower them with love and support to help rebuild their lives. The funds will go directly to Melissa to be used to cover needs after (fingers crossed with hope) FEMA Aid or any other assistance program aid or insurance.
 
Thank you for your generosity! Every bit helps and is very much appreciated.
