Project Description

Unfortunately, I lost my home entirely to the fire, leaving me without shelter or personal belongings. This has been an incredibly challenging time for me, as I am now displaced and attempting to rebuild my life from scratch.

The fire also destroyed my business space, including all inventory, equipment, and records. My ability to serve clients has been completely disrupted, and we have lost significant income as a result. Many of my clients/customers are also affected by the fires, which has further strained operations and future prospects.

Our Nonprofit 501(c)(3) sustains from the sales of our product (A1 hair regrowth oil) that we sale.

The recent fire has had a devastating impact on my nonprofit , resulting in the loss of my entire inventory of Regrowth Hair Oil. Prior to the fire, we had approximately 4000 bottles of the product in stock, all of which were labeled and ready for sale. This inventory represented a significant portion of my business operations and potential revenue

that is used to serve our homeless community through our outreach program.

Additionally, all materials required for production, including raw ingredients, packaging supplies, and promotional materials, were destroyed. Without inventory, my ability to fulfill orders, maintain customer relationships, and generate income has been completely disrupted.

The total estimated loss for the inventory and related materials is approximately $80,000.

To help illustrate the impact, I have attached a photo of my neighbors house as I have yet to see the outcome of my own property due to mandatory evacuation orders still in place as well as curfews, I am now temporarily staying in San Diego and our home was in Pacific Palisades, CA. These visuals depict the extent of the devastation caused by the fire.

I appreciate the opportunity to share my experience and would be grateful for any support or guidance you can provide during this time.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Tamera Richardson
