Community Over Everything <3

 

"Everything is on fire, but everyone I love is doing beautiful things and trying to make life worth living. And I know I don't have to believe in everything. But I believe in that." — Nikita Gill


In moments of adversity, we find our greatest strength in unity. The devastating wildfires in Los Angeles serve as a poignant reminder of the resilience and compassion that define this city we hold so dear.

 

With our roots in Los Angeles, this tragedy hits close to home. We are committed to standing with our community and offering support to those affected. To that end, we’ve curated a collection of disaster relief resources: opportunities for donation, mutual aid networks, mental health support, and housing options for those displaced. This list will be continually updated.

 

Whether you’re in need of assistance or seeking ways to lend your strength, these resources are here to foster connection and hope.

 

Community is a core pillar of our brand, and we would be nothing with out each other. Together, we rise.
