Support Onyx's Recovery From the LA Fires

After moving into a new place on January 1st, Onyx experienced an unimaginable loss due to the recent fires in Los Angeles and had to evacuate the area. He lost transportation, access to his apartment and employment for an undeterminable amount of time, perhaps permanently. This campaign aims to provide both immediate financial relief and long-term assistance as he navigates the challenges ahead.

On January 8, the devastating wildfires that swept through Los Angeles claimed Onyx's neighborhood and left him with very few necessities. His new home, a place of safety, was damaged severely by smoke and fire debris, and his essential mode of transportation for work was also lost.

This fire has taken away so much, but Onyx is not giving up. With the love and support of friends, family, and a kind-hearted community, Onyx will not be unhoused or suffer from the trauma and stress of this event.
