Malibu Wildfire Educator Fund

Twenty-four Malibu Educators have lost their homes in the recent events of the Woolsey Fire; we have created this GoFund Me page to support the Malibu School Educators, both past and present, who have lost so much.  As has been evidenced by the extreme outpouring of support we've witnessed these past few days, Malibu is one of many resilient and caring communities affected by this fire.  This is a community raised by incredible educators whose schools have served as a second home to our children for decades. 

Below please read the list of educators (that we know of at this time) who have lost their homes: 

* Pat Cairns, past Principal and teacher at Malibu High School and Juan Cabrillo

These are people who have spent their whole careers supporting Malibu children and families. 
These are the people who will return to work to continue nurturing students now devastated by what they've lost in the fire. 
They will nurture, as they always do, when they are the ones that need our nurturing.
