I felt so powerless watching the wildfires in L.A. unfold, so I decided to take action by helping kids reconnect with their lost stuffed animals.
After seeing a post from a mom who had lost her home in Pacific Palisades, along with her child’s beloved toys, I was deeply moved. I remember how my own kids couldn’t sleep without their comfort items. My daughter, now 17, still keeps her childhood lovey close even at college. It’s amazing how much comfort these cherished items provide, filled with memories and emotions.
That mom shared a picture of her son’s tattered stuffed animal, hoping someone could find a replacement. When my friend Claire and I saw it, we thought, “We wish we could do something!” Then it hit us—why not? It seemed like a simple way to bring a little joy back into those families’ lives.
Our Initiative
We started a small initiative, and soon enough, we were able to replace toys for over 40 children affected by the fires. It’s incredible how even small acts can create a big impact.
