Help the Fitzer-Geiger Family Recover After Fire

Team fundraiser

Jet Waller and Mori Richner are organising this fundraiser.

Donation protected

The Pacific Palisades fire has left many families devastated, including our dear friends, Susan Fitzer Geiger and Peter Geiger, along with their children, Austin, Sydney, and Jackson. On Tuesday, January 7, in just a few short hours, their beloved home, belongings, and treasured memories were reduced to ashes. Now, they are faced with the monumental task of rebuilding their lives from the ground up.

They are currently safe and with family, but have lost everything - furniture, clothes, and cherished family heirlooms. With two kids in college and one in middle school, and despite their unimaginable loss, they remain hopeful and determined to move forward.

We’re reaching out to ask for your support. Your donation can help provide immediate necessities like clothing, food, and housing, as well as long-term assistance with school expenses as they rebuild their home and lives.

Here’s how you can help:

Donate: Any amount, large or small, will make a difference. You can contribute directly to their relief fund here; money will go directly to the Geiger family.
Share: Spread the word by sharing this page or posting the donation link on social media.
Offer Support: If you have items or services that could assist the family, please reach out to us through Gofundme; we will collaborate with you on pickup or delivery.

In times of tragedy, it’s our compassion and generosity that bring light to the darkest moments. Together, we can show the Geiger family that they are not alone, and that we are here to support them every step of the way.

Thank you for your kindness and support.
