special edition: we need your help!

friends, the wildfires may be over, but the recovery isn't, and likely won't be for a long time. when we started planning this raffle, we waited until march in order to hopefully bring some attention back to rebuilding and recovery efforts and provide a second surge of resources for organizations doing incredible work for LA's communities.

our raffle has over 16 incredible bundles, gifts, experiences and services donated by AAPI/BIPOC-owned small businesses, creatives and organizations. we're truly humbled at the response and how incredibly willing everyone was to do their part.

100% of the proceeds of this fundraiser will be split equally for two initiatives: Junior High LA and the Center for Disaster Philanthropy, two organizations focused on direct relief for families affected by the wildfires and mid- to long-term recovery for marginalized and at-risk residents of California after fires, respectively.

you do not need to be in LA to participate in the raffle, and every little bit helps! please help share our raffle widely so that we can drive much-needed support for communities affected by the wildfires, especially now that most media coverage has moved on.

?? a reminder about joy

we still believe that there is power in coming together, in sharing resources, in supporting one another through difficult times. the road to recovery is long, but it isn't one we have to walk alone.

every $10 ticket is a step toward rebuilding—not just homes, but hope. every small business that donated is a reminder that our community shows up for each other when it matters most.
