Help Us Start Over After Palisades Fire

Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters,

My name is Rita, and I’m a single mother of 11-year-old twins. Our lives were completely turned upside down when the Palisades Fire tore through our neighborhood, leaving us with only the clothes on our backs. We are among the many families who have lost their homes and everything they owned in this devastating tragedy.

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

Many friends have reached out, asking how they can help, and we’re still figuring that out ourselves. The road ahead is uncertain, and we are humbly asking for your support as we begin this journey to restore stability and security for my children and me.

Right now, we need help with the essentials to rebuild our lives and regain a sense of normalcy.

Our immediate needs include:

Clothing, toiletries, and food to replace what we lost

Temporary housing while we search for a new home

Financial support to help us regain stability and rebuild

Emotional and mental health support to help us heal from the trauma

No family should have to face something like this, and while we are staying strong, the challenge of starting over is overwhelming. Your generosity will provide not only the basic necessities but also hope, comfort, and peace as we rebuild. Every donation, no matter how small, will bring us one step closer to a new future for my children and me.

If you are unable to donate, sharing our story with others who may be able to help would mean the world to us.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your love, generosity, and kindness during this incredibly difficult time.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Rita
