Donate NowHow we started.
Our journey began with a heartfelt desire to make a difference in the lives of those affected by devastating wildfires. We saw firsthand how these disasters uproot families, destroy homes, and leave communities struggling to rebuild. Witnessing this widespread suffering, we were driven to create an organization that would be a beacon of hope and support for survivors. What started as a small initiative to provide emergency relief has grown into a comprehensive mission to restore lives and rebuild futures. We formed a team of passionate individuals who shared the same vision: to not only address immediate needs but to ensure long-term recovery for families and communities. Through the generosity of donors, the hard work of volunteers, and the resilience of wildfire survivors, REBUILDHOPE has become a trusted partner in recovery. From financial assistance to mental health support, from rebuilding homes to providing educational opportunities, our commitment to making a difference continues to guide every step we take. We believe that every family deserves a second chance, every community deserves to heal, and every act of kindness has the power to create lasting change. Together, we are not just helping people recover—we are restoring hope and rebuilding lives.
Love
love is the foundation of every action we take. It’s the driving force behind our mission to restore lives and rebuild communities affected by wildfires. Love means showing compassion to those in need, standing with survivors in their darkest moments, and extending a helping hand without hesitation. It’s about creating a space where kindness, generosity, and hope come together to make a lasting difference. Through love, we turn devastation into restoration and give families the strength to start anew. Together, let’s continue to build a world where love leads the way.
Compassion
We understand the pain and loss that wildfire survivors endure, and we are committed to walking alongside them through their journey of recovery. Compassion means listening, understanding, and responding with care. It drives us to provide not just financial aid but also emotional support, ensuring that every individual feels seen, valued, and supported. Through compassion, we create a ripple effect of hope, healing, and renewal—helping survivors rebuild their lives and their sense of belonging. Together, let’s make compassion our greatest strength.
Charity
charity is more than just giving—it’s about transforming lives through generosity and kindness. It’s the act of reaching out to those in need, offering hope, and empowering them to rise again after the devastation of wildfires. Charity fuels our mission, enabling us to provide essential resources, rebuild homes, and restore communities. It’s the bridge that connects those who want to make a difference with those who need it the most. Through charity, we bring light to dark times and create opportunities for lasting change. Together, let’s build a world where giving knows no bounds.

Victim, LA FIRE
"When the fire hit LA, I never thought it would come for us. But it did. I watched in disbelief as the flames tore through everything Daniel had built, the business that had been our lifeline, our future. Standing there, surrounded by the smoke and charred remains, it hit me all at once: it was gone. Everything we had worked so hard for, everything Daniel had poured his heart into, was reduced to ash. I felt lost. How could I explain this to Emma? She ran up to me, her small arms around my waist, her voice shaky but strong. “It’s okay, Mommy. We’ll be okay.” And in that moment, something clicked. For her, I couldn’t give up. I had to find a way to rebuild, even if I didn’t know where to start."
James Dowelle
Victim, LA FIRE
"spent years building my business, pouring money into it, everything from equipment to expanding the office. My office was where I kept what I cherished most: my father’s desk, rare books, and photos of my team. When the wildfire hit, I grabbed what I could, hoping to return. But by the time I got back, everything was gone!. my father’s desk, the books, the photos, and all the financial records I’d spent years collecting. The loss was more than just sentimental; it was financial. The business could be rebuilt, but those things were irreplaceable. It hurt, but I had no choice but to move forward."

"Fires usually start in the hills. You watch them from a distance, knowing they’ll take time to reach. But this one… this one gave no warning. By the time I realized what was happening, my house, my entire block was already engulfed. The flames weren’t just spreading; they were roaring, shooting up higher than the rooftops. The heat was unbearable, and the smoke made it impossible to see more than a few feet ahead. The wind was brutal, whipping through like a storm, strong enough to knock people off their feet. All around me, there were crashing sounds, buildings collapsing, gas lines bursting. It felt like the whole world was on fire.
