Urgent Appeal from Rita, Emma, and Erik

Hi, my name is Rita, mom to my 11-year-old twins, Emma and Erik. Our lives were turned upside down overnight when the Palisades Fire swept through our neighborhood, leaving us with nothing but 2 sets of clothes. We are one of thousands of families who lost their homes and everything we owned in this devastating fire.

In just a matter of hours, the place we called home was reduced to ashes. Now, we are left to rebuild our life from scratch.

Many friends have asked how they can help, and we are still trying to figure that out ourselves. For now, we’ve created this GoFundMe as a way for anyone who wants to support us directly to do so.

Any funds raised will go directly toward:

Essential items like clothes, toiletries, food

Temporary housing while we figure out our next steps

Other basic necessities to help us rebuild our lives and find stability again.

No amount is too small, and every contribution makes a difference. Your support will provide hope and relief during this time of uncertainty. If you can’t donate, sharing our story would mean the world to us.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with us during this difficult times.

With gratitude,

Rita, Emma, and Erik
