I am requesting assistance for a family of 3 who lost their home in Malibu due to the Palisades Fire. The couple has a 19 yr old son who is autistic. They had guest houses on the property that they rented out and provided revenue to pay for the mortgage. The husband has a small travel business which isn’t doing well at the moment and their income is very limited. They were fortunate enough to be able to stay with friends but their time there will soon be coming to an end and they will need to look for other housing options. Unfortunately, they did not have homeowners insurance. They did apply for FEMA and have received some assistance but they are awaiting to hear back about assistance with rebuilding their home. The client is an artist and would also use the property for photoshoots which also helped revenue income. Their current goal is to get into a rental so they can begin the long process of rebuilding their home. They lost all of their belongings, from furniture to clothing to jewelry. They have nothing but the clothes on their backs that they left with the day of the fire. I am requesting financial assistance for this family to help with their everyday expenses and with the purchase of clothing.
