Dear John,

I feel compelled to reach out during these incredibly difficult days. The wildfires ravaging Los Angeles and surrounding areas are nothing short of devastating. My heart is heavy, knowing the pain and uncertainty so many families are enduring right now.

Are you and your loved ones safe? How are you holding up? If you have a moment, please let me know how you’re doing. If there is anyone specific you’d like me to pray for—family members, friends, neighbors—please share their names.

The pictures and reports of these fires are unimaginable, but I know that behind every image, there are real people—mothers, fathers, children—who are frightened and displaced. I want you to know you’re not alone. We are thinking of you, praying for you, and standing with you.

If you feel comfortable sharing your story, I would be honored to hear it. Whether it’s about the challenges you’ve faced or the courage you’ve witnessed, it would help us pray more intentionally and offer support where needed most.

Please know that our entire CitizenGO community is praying for you and all those impacted by these fires. You are cherished, and your safety and well-being matter deeply to us.

May God’s protection surround you and those you love during this time of trial.

With heartfelt concern,

Anna Derbyshire and the entire CitizenGO Team
