Help Tamika Rebuild Her Jewelry Business & Artistic Communit

Hi, my name is Tamika, and I’ve spent the last 20 years building a life, a business, and a community in Pasadena and Altadena. For eight years, my store at Oh Happy Days was more than just a place to sell jewelry—it was a creative hub where artists gathered, shared their work, and supported one another.

But now, it’s all gone.

The fire took everything—my store, my handmade jewelry, all my tools and materials, and the network of artists I had worked so hard to curate. I didn’t just lose a business—I lost my passion, my livelihood, and the space that brought my community together.

Now, I’m starting over from nothing.

I’m taking things one day at a time, trying to keep my faith and reconnect with other artists, but it’s overwhelming. My dream is to get back to making jewelry again, sell online, and find local businesses to feature my work. But before I can do that, I need to replace my tools, rebuild my inventory, and find a new space to create.

I’m staying positive, but I can’t do this alone.

I need help to start again, regain my business, and bring my art back to life. If you can donate, I am beyond grateful. And if you can’t, please share my story and help me reach people who believe in supporting artists and small businesses.

Thank you for being a part of my journey. I won’t let this fire take away my passion—I just need a little help getting back on my feet.

With gratitude,

Tamika
