UPDATE 2/5/2025:

Ron had a heart attack the night of Jan 29th, requiring resuscitation three times. He was rushed to the Huntington Memorial Hospital, where they were able to put a stent in and put him on a ventilator. Incredibly, he has managed to be weaned off the ventilator, and then and now is breathing on his own. We are so very grateful for all the support you have provided up to now and your ongoing support with this new issue. Please keep Ron and his family in your thoughts and prayers as this has been an incredibly tough process for them all.

I am fundraising for our long-time Bee, Ron, and my friend. Many of you will know him as the IT guy or the fix-it guy at work.

I'm Stella Dearing, and I live in SCV near Los Angeles. I know Ron from work. He and his girlfriend lost their home in the Eaton fire on the night of 1/7/2025. Losing all your worldly belongings is upsetting and expensive. They are going to need a place to stay, short-term rental funds, new furniture, and new clothes. I want to set up this GoFundMe to help them out as much as possible. We will use the funds to pay for short-term rentals, furniture, and personal goods that were lost in the fire.

Us Bees stick together. Thank you for your generosity.
