The devastating wildfires in Los Angeles have left many families with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Among those affected are Ivy and Ruby Van Kline, twin sisters who recently celebrated their 6th birthday. Their house and school were both destroyed in the fires, forcing them to move in with their grandparents.

Jet Crawford, another 6-year-old kindergarten student at Aveson School of Leaders, is now living in a new house with his mom and sister after their home burned down in Altadena. Despite the challenges they face, these children are trying to stay positive and find ways to cope with the loss.

Kurtis Odom, a 9-year-old fourth grader, and his 12-year-old sister Kayla are currently living in a vacation rental after their house was destroyed. Phoebe Hanelin, a 10-year-old student at Marquez Charter Elementary, lost her home and school in the Palisades fire. Together with her sisters, they have moved multiple times since the fire and are uncertain about their future.

Lily Yadegar, Alessandra Santini, and Yasmine Santini, students at Pali High, were lucky enough to have their homes spared by the fires. However, they spent over a week evacuated and decided to start a GoFundMe to help rebuild their school and support their classmates.

The children shared their experiences of leaving their homes in a hurry as the fires approached. Ivy described it as “very, very scary,” while Kurtis recalled the heartbreaking moment when he realized his house was gone. Despite the challenges they face, these resilient children are finding ways to adapt to their new circumstances.

As they adjust to their new living situations, the children are finding comfort in the little things. Ivy, Ruby, and their parents are grateful for the support of their grandparents, while Kurtis and Kayla are focusing on schoolwork and spending time with family. Jet’s mom is concerned about his well-being, as he struggles with the changes brought on by the fires.

Phoebe and her sisters are facing uncertainty about their future, while Abigail worries about the challenges of remote learning. Despite the hardships they face, these children are finding strength in each other and in the memories of their lost homes and schools.

As they navigate this difficult time, the children are finding solace in the support of their families and communities. Through their resilience and determination, they are proving that even in the face of adversity, they can find hope and strength to move forward.
