Support the Rodgers Family's Recovery Journey

Dear Friends, Family, and Community,

The recent fires that have swept through Los Angeles have left countless families, including the Rodgers family, reeling from unimaginable loss. Their apartment is left in unlivable conditions, and they are now facing the heartbreaking reality of rebuilding their lives from the ground up.

Lora, a talented prop master in film and television, has already been struck by the challenges of the past few years, including COVID-19, industry strikes, and the slowdown of local productions. Chris, a dedicated surf and skate instructor and a beloved community member, is someone you’ve likely met at Becker Surf or the Chili Cook-Off. Their daughter, Samantha, who just started her first year of college this September, now faces an uncertain future alongside her family as they work to recover.

As renters, their journey to recovery will be especially challenging, as they’ve lost their home and the essentials we often take for granted—clothes, cookware, and the everyday items that create a sense of normalcy.

This family, long-standing members of the Malibu community, has always given so much to those around them. Now, it’s our turn to give back. Let’s come together and lend a helping hand to help the Rodgers family get back on their feet. Your donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward helping them rebuild their lives—providing essential items, temporary housing, and hope for a brighter future.

Please consider contributing or sharing this campaign to spread the word. Together, we can help Lora, Chris, and their daughter, Sam move forward from this tragedy and remind them of the strength of our community.

Thank you for your generosity, compassion, and support during this difficult time.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Frankie Ingrassia
