Friend,

One year ago, the historic LA wildfires tore through Altadena, Malibu, and the Palisades — destroying homes and displacing families in their path. Sadly, many are still reeling from the lasting impact of the disaster.

In just 31 days, 31 lives were tragically lost. Over 16,000 structures were destroyed, and 71 square miles were left in ruins — almost the entire size of San Francisco. And so far, only 10 homes have been rebuilt.

Thousands of families are still displaced. For them, “normal” is still a distant memory.

The toll of such immense loss, instability, and trauma demands a rigorous mental health response. That’s exactly what Project HOPE teams are doing on the ground right now. And with your support, we can continue helping families recover in Los Angeles and extend lifesaving care to other communities around the world where the need is just as urgent.

Every person touched by this tragedy will likely feel its impact for years. But together, we can ease their burden.

Right now, Project HOPE is delivering mental health support where it’s needed most. We’re reaching children in schools with trauma-informed care, providing “Kids Kits” that offer comfort through play, supporting frontline workers under strain, and equipping volunteers with tools to support their neighbors through recovery.

Every day, our teams see the strength of these communities. And we’re committed to showing up for them — but we can’t do it without you.

Every dollar you donate today can help crisis-affected communities in L.A. — and others around the world who need our support, wherever the need is greatest. Please, will you send a generous gift today?

Thank you.

— The Project HOPE Team
