Help Jeremy, Tomo and Family with Operation: Fresh Start

Hi all, Dave and Stella asking for your help.

Our friends Tomo and Jeremy and their 9-year-old son have lost their magical historic landmarked home in the Eaton Fire in Southern California. We spent the most enchanting Thanksgiving at the house and cannot believe it is gone. Their home was a refuge from the world where a constant stream of visitors found a place of healing, learning and connection.

Jeremy's story of the house was shared by Hidden Los Angeles.

This special family truly lives in service to the world. Jeremy teaches at the Drucker School of Management in Claremont. He is one of those legendary teachers whose classes routinely change people's lives. 16 years ago more than a dozen of his former students volunteered to donate a kidney to save his life.

Jeremy shares this story in this TEDx talk:

Tomo came to LA to study at the Art Center College of Design with two suitcases and no English. 3 years later, she graduated second in her class with many award-winning projects. She is active in her community, managing the neighborhood Buy Nothing Group, while she home schools their son.

Their son...what can we say? Loaded with charm, brilliance and easy-going kindness he has an otherworldly wisdom. After seeing the charred remains of his family home, he shouted out with a gleam in his eye, "Fresh start!".

Papa and son were on CNN with Jake Tapper telling their story.
