Help Paul and Susan Rebuild After Devastating Fire

Hi, my name is Devon Tracey and I'm trying to raise some funds for my father Paul Tracey who has just lost his home to the historically tragic Palisades fire. I am hoping to put together some money to help him and his wife Susan get back on their feet as they transition to a new place to live. But seeing as they have lost everything, they have no clothes, or supplies or just anything basically, and I figured I would try to do something that might help them out now that this catastrophe has hit.

I know there are many families in the Palisades that are in the exact same boat, and am devastated for their loss as well.

I know that my father loved this house, he bought it in 1976, for what is now a ridiculously low amount of money, something like 125k, he then built on a second story to the house himself, and after that, he built a yoga studio for Susan in the backyard, where she taught yoga classes and he would assist with playing music at the end of each class. He had just had the house fumigated for termites, had just fixed the roof which had been leaking for years, and just had solar panels installed which he was very excited about.

They absolutely adored this home and had built it up and curated it to be just perfect for them. The majestic garden that my father tends to everyday along with his nursery are all gone, which would have been tragic enough. It's sort of mind numbing to try to comprehend the magnitude of this loss, I'm still in shock, but I know he will find a way to go forward courageously.

The number of treasures in that house are too many to even contemplate. The pictures, the letters, the books, the artwork, the musical instruments, his Zulu walking sticks, I am profoundly grief stricken and feeling empty inside. There was nothing that I or anyone could do to have stopped this freak wind event and fire from engulfing the whole city, but like one of my Dad's songs says 'bad things can happen to good people'...and my father is the best person I know. So if you could chip in to help him out during this very traumatizing time for us, I would really appreciate it and it could give him some support as he figures out how he will fight with the insurance company, what he's going to do next and also process the loss of his beloved home.
