Sharing is caring!

At The Boudoir Café, Los Angeles is more than just a location. LA is where our journey began and remains a vital part of our creative heart. While we’ve expanded our work internationally, our roots in LA run deep. That’s why the recent wildfires, which have devastated countless lives, hit especially close to home. One of our own, Vanessa, lost everything when her Malibu home was consumed by the flames. Now, The Boudoir Café is stepping up to help her family rebuild, and we invite you to join us in making a difference.

Raising Funds Through Art

To support Vanessa and her family, The Boudoir Café founder, Cherie, is donating proceeds from her art to help provide immediate relief. Every purchase directly contributes to covering essential needs such as food, shelter, and critical supplies for Vanessa’s two autistic children. These funds will also support the care of the family’s beloved animals, which Vanessa heroically rescued during the fire.

Vanessa’s story is one of resilience and love. Her boys have complex special needs. Their home wasn’t just a place to live. It was a carefully designed sanctuary that provided stability and comfort. The fire took everything: sensory tools, adaptive equipment, specialized feeding supplies, and even basic essentials like diapers and clothing. To make matters worse, their fire insurance was canceled just months before the disaster, leaving them with no financial safety net.

How Your Support Helps

Your donations and purchases of Cherie’s art will help Vanessa rebuild and provide for her children’s essential needs, including:

Safe shelter: Ensuring Vanessa and her boys have a stable place to stay.

Daily necessities: Replacing clothing, food, and specialized care items like weighted blankets and noise-canceling headphones.

Therapeutic support: Providing the specialized care Vanessa’s boys need to cope with the trauma of losing their home.

Animal care: Offering shelter, food, and veterinary services for the family’s dogs, sheep, and chickens. These aren’t just farm animals, they are crucial to the boys’ emotional well-being.

This is more than just a financial effort; it’s about restoring a sense of normalcy for a family that has lost everything. Every contribution—whether through purchasing artwork or sharing Vanessa’s story—makes a tangible impact in helping them move forward. Maybe purchasing artwork is not an option for you right now. But, if you like you can still make a donation of any amount though Kiesza‘s personal fundraiser HERE.

Join The Boudoir Café in Making a Difference

Vanessa and her family are facing an unimaginable challenge, but with your help, they won’t have to face it alone. By purchasing art through The Boudoir Café, you’re not only acquiring a beautiful piece of work. You’re also providing hope and stability to a family in crisis. If you’re unable to contribute financially, simply sharing their story can help spread awareness and bring more support their way.

Together, we can show Vanessa her community stands with her during this difficult time.

From all of us at The Boudoir Café, thank you for your kindness and generosity.
