Support the Yasharian family after the Eaton Fire

On January 7th, my best friend of over 30 years, Pauline, her husband, Dean, and their children Mason and Isla, lost their home and everything they own in the devastating Eaton Fire.

Overnight, their beloved Altadena home was burned to the ground, along with their children’s local school. They left with the clothes on their backs and one bag of essentials. Although we are so grateful that they are safe, they have lost a lifetime of cherished memories and all of their personal belongings in this tragic event.

Dean and Pauline own and operate the locally acclaimed restaurant, Perle, in Old Town Pasadena. They are active and dedicated members of their community, generous to those in need, and participate in numerous charitable organizations. Due to these tragic events and dangerous conditions for their team, the restaurant is currently closed with no foreseeable reopening date.

**Perle update**

With the help of their team, generous friends, family, and YOU — this wonderful community —  They are reopening Perle today, Wednesday, 01/15.

I am launching this GoFundMe to help my friends get back on their feet and restart their lives. If you know them, you know this is a family that has endured unthinkable tragedies and hardship over the past few years. Any contribution, big or small, will make an impact.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity during this difficult time.
