Why your support matters
My partner and I just lost everything we own in this fire, and coping with the fact that we’re starting from ground zero. Yet in the wake of this tragedy, we’ve seen the beauty in humanity across divides and political spectrums. We’re documentary storytellers and we plan to use our art to process and heal from this experience – capturing the kindness and love from friends, strangers, acquaintances, and neighbors alike. If you could share our campaign with your community, we could really use the help – and we’d love for them to join along in this uncovering of the true goodness in humanity.
