Sending so much love your way. I am grateful to have visited both studios in person and hope to see this one again, safe and sound. Thank you for sharing your story from there. 💗
It’s been such a relief to read your updates, you’ve been on my mind since I found out the fires were in your area. Wishing the best to you, your family, friends and the BK family. I’ll be waiting for you when you are back on track.
Thank you so much, Shannon. We are so grateful to regain some footing in the last few days and to restore some rhythm for the kids. I really appreciate you keeping us in your thoughts. Thank you!!
Dear Wakako and BK Family, It is so good to hear from you as we wonder how you are.
I know you have mentioned that you are caring for some elderly folks who needed a place to stay and wonder if I can donate to you for some groceries. Perhaps I can do that online directly-let me know. We are praying here every day for all of you. Our son was evacuated during the Cal Dor fire for 2 1/2 weeks up here in Placerville. Thank you for writing and all the best.
Thank you so much for your message, Sandy, and for your generous offer. We got through tough and challenging days with shared meals, love for our dogs, and our friendship and we are so grateful.
Thank you for writing, Wakako....If you are ok for groceries, then I will go and have fun ordering from the studio! I love doing that, anyway, so now is the perfect time.
All the best in the days ahead-we are with you and for you.
It is so good to get daily updates about you guys. There was so much joy and anticipation to see between the lines when you returned from Denver hoping for a new year to settle in your old and new again place. And then these fires, threatening your life and future again, after all that happened during your Asheville time. It is so admirable to see you this calm, thoughtful und caring for your community and having optimism and hope glimpsing through despite all. Sending love and prayers to you and your family and the Baum-Kuchen team
Thank you, Dorothee. I pull inspiration from friends and families around me and am so grateful to be surrounded by amazing people. Thank you so much for keeping us in your thoughts through this season.
My company is matching all employee donations. They are not able to match Go Fund Me’s yet I wanted to ask if there is another organization in your area you suggest.
Thank you so much for your message. It is so kind of you and your company to offer donations. Here are some organizations in the area offering immediate support for the local area around our studio. Especially Pasadena Humane Society is very dear to my heart.
oh my goodness, I did my donation yesterday without seeing your reply AND I choose the Pasadena Humane Society and California Community Foundation. My heart was led to those organizations and seeing your list now, just confirms my choices. You are still very much on our minds and hearts. xoxo

aw... I LOVE this synchronicity so much. Thank you so so much for supporting our community and people who make the community so special.
Thank you for the update. Again, I am so glad the studio was spared. You are an inspiration to us all.
I’m sorry about Natalia. I know at least 5 people in her situation and it’s heartbreaking. Stay strong- sending much love.
Yes. There have been so many devastating losses... and I hope we can continue to be the support and show up for each other.
