Testimonials
A Heartfelt Thank You! I am deeply touched and overwhelmed with gratitude for the incredible support and generosity you have shown me during this challenging time. Your contributions, kind words, and encouragement have been a lifeline as I work to rebuild my life after the Palisades fire. Your kindness reminds me that even in the darkest moments, there is light and love to be found. Thank you for standing by me and helping me take steps toward a brighter future. I will never forget your generosity and support. — MN
A blessed “Thank you” to everyone who is helping me. I am ever so grateful! I couldn’t do it without you and the Guru. Starting over is so costly, especially since I won’t be working now. My job also burned down and they were accommodating me being permanently partially disabled due to a work injury a while back. I still have quite a ways to go. I hope to live near my beloved Lake Shrine soon. For all those helping me, I promise I’ll be praying for you the rest of my life! –KT
The level of support I have received from my fellow devotees has touched my heart so much and I can’t begin to tell you how truly grateful I am. This whole experience has allowed me to lean in and surrender to God’s plan so much more, as I hear our monks, who have lost everything, are doing so well. They are an inspiration, and I am so happy to be part of this wonderful community with you at SRF. I look forward to being back in service baking, singing and gardening for you all again soon. Thank you once again for making this period of my life a little easier. –KL
