Six Months of Magic: Update

Over the past six months, we’ve been deeply moved by the outpouring of generosity in response to the 2025 Los Angeles Fires initiative. What began as a small idea quickly grew into a nationwide effort, supported by families, educators, college students, and even being mentioned in Oprah Daily.

University-led book drives, thoughtful involvement from local businesses, and boxes of handpicked books shipped in from across the country have all helped bring this vision to life. With the collection phase now complete, we’re excited to share what’s next.

Two WAYS WE’RE GIVING

We’re curating thousands of donated children’s books into two thoughtful formats to support families affected by the LA fires:

Cabin Comfort Totes
Hand-dyed indigo tote bags filled with small, heartfelt touches:
• 3 picture books or early readers (ages 0 to 8)
• Stickers for little ones
• A handwritten Note of Hope from a volunteer

These are gifted directly to families through trusted religious and community centers, offering a personal gesture of care and connection.

Community Book Boxes
Larger boxes of books, sorted by type, are being distributed to local spaces that support children on a daily basis. These boxes are meant to add meaningful reading options wherever families gather.

Deliveries in Motion

Deliveries are beginning across community centers in Altadena, Pasadena, and Pacific Palisades. While not every location was directly impacted by the fires, many of the families they serve continue to navigate loss, displacement, or quiet emotional burdens.

We believe community centers, including trusted faith-based spaces, are often the first to recognize who may benefit from a small act of comfort. We are honored to support their work.

A new partnership with an international logistics company is also making it possible to expand both our reach and impact. Stay tuned for an announcement.

Closing Chapter

As deliveries begin, we will be closing this initiative with quiet care and deep gratitude. While we won’t be sharing personal stories or photos out of respect for the families receiving totes, we will be highlighting the community centers and partners who helped bring this to life.

Your generosity continues to ripple outward, and we are so thankful you’ve been part of this journey.
