Good afternoon!

As some of you may have heard, during the high winds last week, a large
tree fell on Breanne’s home, causing significant damage. Thankfully, she
and her family are physically okay, but their house has been red-tagged,
and they are currently displaced.

Several have reached out asking how to help. If you’re able and would like
to contribute, I’m organizing a collection to support Breanne and her
family with immediate needs and temporary housing expenses.
You can contribute via Zelle, Venmo via my cell #951-377-3899.  In-person
cash donations are being collected by Krista Zavala and/or Kaitlyn Banda.

I plan to present this gift to Breanne on *Friday, September 12*, so any
contributions by *Thursday *would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for showing the kind of care and generosity that makes our
department such a strong and supportive community.
