Dear Friends,
In times of crisis, the world needs helpers. When devastation strikes—whether it’s a neighbor, a friend, or a community miles away—stepping up can make all the difference.
Right now, Los Angeles families are facing unimaginable loss as fires have destroyed homes and displaced hundreds. Many have lost everything. It’s in moments like these that we get to be the helpers—offering relief, hope, and support to those who need it most.
How You Can Help
We’re hosting a donation drive in Portland to gather essentials for those affected. If you’re local, join us at our second Donation Drive:
📍Riverdale Grade School Parking Lot
📅 Thursday, February 22nd
⏰ 11 AM – 6pm
11733 S Breyman Ave,
Portland, OR 97219
We’re collecting:
✅ Home goods (bedding, towels, decor)
✅ Furniture (small items, chairs, tables, etc.)
✅ Kitchen appliances (blenders, coffee makers, utensils)
✅ Cash cards & donations (for immediate relief)
Not in Portland? You can still make an impact! For the dignity of the victims, we are collecting monetary donations that will be used for cash cards, allowing families to purchase the items they need—clothing, shoes, and daily essentials.
➡️ Donations can be sent to Nicole Jaques, who will ensure they go directly to those in need.
This is more than just a donation drive—it’s a chance to show up for others, to remind people that even in tragedy, they are not alone.
Thank you for being a helper. Thank you for being the good.
With gratitude,
Nicole Jaques

P.P.S. I’ve personally been through this with my family in the fires a few years ago. Our families’ home was destroyed. I feel for you like you have no idea. Love you all! ❤️
