Help Clarissa a single mother who lost everything in fire.

Donation protected


Help Clarissa Costa and her 7-year-old daughter, Ari, reconstruct their lives.

Our beautiful friend, Clarissa, has lost everything in the devastating Pacific Palisades disaster. Her beloved home, her community, and her livelihood vanished overnight.

As a single mom, Clarissa has always worked tirelessly to provide for her sweet daughter, Ari. She ran her private Pilates practice from home—a source of both income and passion. Now, everything she’s worked so hard for is gone.

Clarissa is a beacon of generosity and light, always giving so much to those around her. Now, it’s our turn to give back. She didn’t want to ask for help, but as her friends, we are stepping in to ask for her.

Every gesture, no matter how big or small, helps them feel supported as they navigate this challenging time. Thank you for being a part of their journey.

With Gratitude and love
Candice (friend)
on behalf of Clarissa & Ari Costa
