Thanks to your generous support, so far FOCUS North America has been able to provide $8,500 in direct assistance to families affected by the devastating Los Angeles fires. Your kindness is making a real difference—especially for those in Alta Dena, the hardest-hit area where over 9,400 structures have been lost.
One of the families we’ve had the privilege to support is Eshele Williams and her son, Brayden, who lost their home in the fire—along with Eshele’s mother, sister, and cousin. The scale of loss is overwhelming, but your generosity has brought comfort in the midst of the chaos.
Through the FOCUS Los Angeles Fire Relief Fund, Eshele was able to purchase new bedding and furniture for the apartment they now call home. She shared how this gift has brought a much-needed sense of normalcy during such an uncertain time, and both she and Brayden extend their deepest gratitude for your compassion.
Amidst the ashes, Eshele and Brayden were able to recover one precious reminder of their life before the fire—Brayden’s dance medals—a moment they will never forget. While their journey ahead is challenging, the hope and support you’ve provided has been a beacon of light for them.
Thank you for standing with us and with families like Eshele’s—offering hope when it’s needed most.
