Support Nicole, Mike, and Eamon with LA Wildfire Losses

I’m Gina Siepel, an artist in Massachusetts, and I’m raising funds for my dear friends Nicole and Mike and their son Eamon, who have lost their home in Altadena CA to the LA fires today, January 8, 2025. They managed to get out in time and are all safe, but their home burned to the ground and they lost everything they own.

Nicole has been a close friend since I was eighteen years old, when we were students together at SUNY Purchase. She is like family to me, and has supported me countless times in a million ways. I would like to help her and her family get back on their feet after this terrible and life-changing event. They need everything one needs after a fire like this: food, clothing, basic essentials, a place to live. The money will go directly to them. As artists raising a child in an expensive state, financial assistance will be very helpful to them in the aftermath of this event.

I’m trying to raise $5000 to start, but please give what you can, even small gifts are very meaningful. Thanks for being part of our community. At times like this, there is nothing more meaningful.

love,

Gina
