Rebuild Lily and Sasha's Home and School

Donation protected
Today, tragedy struck my dear lifelong friends Lily, Sasha, and their two amazing children, Remy (15) and Sunny (5). Their home was destroyed in the devastating Altadena fire. This wasn’t just their family home—it was the heart of Sagewood Schoolhouse, the small and loving preschool that Lily ran with so much passion.

This loss is especially heartbreaking because Sasha poured countless hours into transforming their house into the perfect space for Sagewood Schoolhouse. Every detail, every improvement, was made with care and intention—not only to create a warm, nurturing environment for the children but also to provide a space that reflected Lily’s vision and their family’s dreams.

Sasha is also a dedicated community advocate who has always gone above and beyond to support others. Together, Lily and Sasha have built a life centered around giving, whether through Lily’s work with children or Sasha’s tireless advocacy.

Now, this loving family needs our help to recover from this unimaginable loss.

How You Can Help

The fire has taken their home, their school, and their livelihood, but with our support, they can begin to rebuild. Your donations will go toward:

Temporary housing for Lily, Sasha, Remy, and Sunny as they recover and figure out their next steps.

Essential needs like clothing, food, and supplies for their family.

Rebuilding Sagewood Schoolhouse and their home, so Lily can return to her work of educating and supporting children in the community.

Restoring what Sasha and Lily worked so hard to create, helping them rebuild their home and their dreams.

Every little bit helps, whether it’s a donation or simply sharing this campaign with others. Together, we can come together as a community to support this wonderful family as they face the long road to recovery.

Lily and Sasha have always been there for others, offering their love, time, and energy to help those around them. Now it’s our turn to show them that they are not alone. Let’s help them rebuild their home, their school, and their future.

Thank you so much for your generosity, love, and support during this incredibly difficult time.

Love,
Amy
