Leslee’s Humor Survived the Fire—Now Let’s Help Support Her

Donation protected
Alanna here. I'm Leslee's daughter — creating this on her behalf for those who are looking to help.

The Eaton Fire took more than just a house—it took my mom’s cozy Altadena home and a lifetime of memories.

Among the things lost were irreplaceable keepsakes from my late dad (that she lovingly saved for us kids) like his drum set and home videos, her parents’ heirlooms like a treasured mahjong set and a multi-generational clock, and her jewelry collected from her travels around the world.

While she (and her dog, Nala) escaped safely, she’s now starting from scratch—something she never planned to do unless it involved her gloriously impending retirement. Your support will help her cover essentials like clothing, housing, and a fresh start as she begins to re-establish her sense of normalcy.

Any donation, no matter how small, is deeply appreciated. Even if you can only send good vibes, those are welcome too (though cash is easier to spend on socks ). Thank you for being part of her journey toward the future.

* Because it’s been asked, if you’d like to send her donations directly, her Venmo is @leslee-koritzke

* Here is her Amazon Wishlist for replacement items that she had at home: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/P17DBN48BAA4?ref_=wl_shareAmazon Wishlist
