Bringing Hope back to Jay and Mary

Hi everyone,

I'm reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for help for my dear uncle Jay and his wife Mary, who have experienced an unimaginable loss. Like so many others affected by the devastating Palisades fire, they have lost everything.

Their beloved home of 30 years was completely destroyed. In an instant, they had to evacuate with only the clothes on their backs, a few toiletries, and a change of clothes. A lifetime of memories—family photos, keepsakes, and personal belongings—was reduced to ashes.

Jay and Mary are heartbroken, overwhelmed, and anxiously awaiting the next steps. In their 80s, they are faced with the unimaginable task of starting over and have no idea where to begin.

While so much of what they lost cannot be replaced, any support you can give—whether through a donation or by sharing this page—would mean the world to them. Your kindness and generosity will help them feel less alone as they begin navigating this incredibly difficult time.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

With gratitude,

Emily
