Our Mission
A Letter From Our Founder
In the aftermath of the 2025 wildfires, I kept hearing the same words over and over: “We don’t know where to go from here.” Families who had built their lives in Los Angeles—some for generations—were suddenly left with nothing but questions. How do you rebuild when insurance barely covers a fraction of the cost? When every option feels like a dead end?
For many, losing a home didn’t just mean losing four walls. It meant losing the only life they had ever known.
I started Lotus Rising LA because I refused to accept that reality. This city is home to so many of us, and yet, the very people who shaped its neighborhoods are being pushed out—not by choice, but by circumstance. We’re here to change that.
Lotus Rising LA isn’t just about rebuilding homes. It’s about restoring hope. It’s about making sure no one is forced to leave because rebuilding is out of reach. It’s about coming together—neighbors, strangers, businesses, and changemakers—to say: We won’t let you be forgotten.
This isn’t charity. It’s community.
If you’ve ever wondered how you can make a real, tangible impact—this is your chance. Whether you give, share, or simply spread the word, you are part of something bigger. You are helping families take back their future.
And I can promise you—they won’t rise alone.
