Support MARNEY'S and Pacific Palisades Wildfire Relief
Donation protected
As a concerned educator from Los Angeles, I am heartbroken to share the devastating impact of the recent wildfires that continue to ravage our communities. Among the many lives and institutions affected, MARNEY'S—a beloved tutoring and childcare center in Pacific Palisades—has been especially dear to me. Now, MARNEY'S needs your help to rebuild and continue its vital mission.
The Palisades Fire has swept through neighborhoods, forcing evacuations and leaving destruction in its wake. With extreme winds fueling four major fires across Los Angeles County, the situation remains dire. Entire families and businesses have been displaced, and MARNEY'S is among those deeply impacted.
The house that hosted MARNEY'S students still stands, but we now face the challenge of finding a new location to continue serving the community. Remarkably, the little library in the village—built and advocated for by Marney herself—has also survived. To us, it’s a powerful beacon of hope and a sign that MARNEY'S is meant to carry on.
MARNEY'S has always been more than a place for education and childcare; it’s a lifeline for children and families, a source of care, stability, and inspiration. Marney’s unwavering dedication to her students has touched countless lives, and I know she’ll find strength and happiness when we succeed in restarting MARNEY'S.
We need your support to help MARNEY'S and its students recover and thrive. Your donations will directly contribute to:
- Restarting MARNEY'S Operations: Funds will help secure a new location, replace educational supplies and equipment, and cover operational costs to get this essential service back up and running.
- Supporting Families in Need: A portion of the funds will go toward assisting the families of MARNEY'S and others in the community who have lost their homes and belongings.
- Rebuilding Lives: Your generosity will provide immediate relief for Marney, her team, and the students who rely on this center, including housing support and replacing essential items.
The wildfires have left a path of destruction, but together, we can bring hope and healing to those affected. Every dollar counts, and your contribution—no matter the size—will make a tangible difference in helping MARNEY'S and the students of Pacific Palisades rise from the ashes.
Thank you for your compassion and generosity during this critical time.
Please donate today to help rebuild MARNEY'S and restore hope to our community.
