Support for California
Co-Founders, Ashley Perkins and Tahyira Arias, are showing our support for everyone in California who are being, or have been, directly effected by the wildfires, air pollution, debris, and overall chaos of the multiple different fire disasters happening throughout California. Neither of us are currently in California, but believe it to be of the upmost importance to still support our friends, family, and overall community members. We are committed to empowering our communities and ensuring that no one feels left behind. As part of our mission, we are actively gathering resources, forming meaningful partnerships, and compiling a list of individuals who have been impacted and are in need of support. Whether it’s connecting people to vital resources, providing a safe space for healing, or offering opportunities for growth and empowerment, we are here to make a difference. If you or someone you know could benefit from our assistance, we encourage you to reach out and join us in this important effort.
We are building a list for you to reference, contribute to, and share. We wish to clearly identify and uplift are community members who have been directly effected and give them a platform to receive help. Below is what we have so far, our list is not exhaustive by any means and so we welcome input from you. Please send over other community members who have been impacted by the fires and wish to receive help with donations of cash or materials.
