From Jocelyn Anker and Schuyler Allen, who are organizing this fundraiser on behalf of Clove Galilee and and Jenny Rogers to recover in the aftermath of the California wildfires.
On January 8th, Clove and Jenny watched their beloved house and its contents go up in flames after fifteen years of pouring love and care into restoring it to become their forever home. Nothing of the home was spared; only the memories of their time in this unique home remain.
Thankfully, they are currently safe and have found temporary shelter.
Clove and Jenny are pillars of their community who now face the challenge of rebuilding their lives after experiencing unprecedented losses.
They are overwhelmed by where to start, and any contribution will be immensely appreciated.
We are raising funds to help them with immediate needs like clothing, housing, food and essentials, as well as to rebuild their home in the aftermath of this terrible tragedy.

After a more than seven-year stint that saw her make a deep imprint across a wide swath of City of Mill Valley’s programs and services as arts and recreation director, Jenny Rogers moved south for a broader portfolio as director of community services for the City of Beverly Hills.
Rogers had taken over the department from Christine Sansom in July 2012, overseeing and significantly expanding upon the array of functions at the Mill Valley Community Center and the Aquatics & Fitness Center, but also a seemingly ever-growing list of programs and services, including an award-winning expansion of its adaptive needs programming.
She fostered partnership and collaboration among a host of stakeholders and organizations, including the Mill Valley Chamber.
