How you can help our human friends and horses in LA at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center
“Your generosity helps ensure the safety and comfort of these animals during this challenging time. Thank you for making a difference! We are so grateful to everyone who has volunteered to help at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center during this wildfire emergency.”
“Through years of interior designing for clients across the world, I’ve come to understand something of the soul of a home. It is, at its core, a story of someone’s life — a curation of memories and moments intricately connected to our sense of self. When you suddenly lose a home, it can feel as if you’ve lost a part of yourself. From the furniture passed down through generations, to photographs and letters lovingly preserved, to the irretrievable, familiar smell.”
– Kelly Wearstler (FT)
