<div>My dear friend of 30+ years, Casey Colvin, has lost his home, his car and all his belongings in the California fire. His beloved Pomeranian "OREO", who is a rescue from an abusive home, got loose during the melee and through the power of social media and tireless help of good Samaritans, Casey was able to REUNITE with his beloved Oreo!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But that doesn't change the fact that his whole neighborhood has literally been reduced to ashes and stacks of rubble. And like many of the residents out there, most of his insurance claims will be denied or the coverage was pulled prior to all this.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Casey is a one of one. We went to grade school together and played together in a band in our 20s. His infectious energy and gregarious personality has gotten me thru some tough times and he has always been a beacon of love and empathy for all his friends lucky enough to know him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My goal is to raise $35k to help him get thru the next few months. He works sales and his income will be severely affected since his customer base are businesses in that same area, dealing with the same horrible fallout of the fires.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He’s going to need help with day to day expenses and temporary housing. He was reluctant to let me do this for him but I can promise he deserves any help that you choose to give. It all adds up so whatever you can chip in. Thank you friends.

Help Casey Colvin & OREO the Dog Rebuild After LA Fires

<div>Dr. Annie Harvilicz: A Hero to Animals in Crisis

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>When the devastating Palisades Fire tore through Los Angeles, displacing families and destroying homes, Dr. Annie Harvilicz, a dedicated veterinarian and founder of Animal Wellness Centers, became a beacon of hope for the community's most vulnerable victims—the pets. As flames spread and chaos ensued, Annie opened her clinic, her home, and her heart to shelter animals left without a safe place to go.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>A Lifeline for Displaced Pets

</div>

<div><br />

</div>
