Randi Jaffe shared her thoughts on helping children and families affected by the California wildfires by providing comfort items such as loveys, stuffies, and blankies. She emphasized the importance of these items for children of all ages during times of displacement and trauma, restoring a sense of control for them. The LA Lost Stuffy Project, led by Jaffe and her husband, aims to replace lost comfort items for families in need. One recipient, Emily Balliet, expressed gratitude for the project, describing how a stuffed unicorn brought joy to her son after their home burned down. The Jaffes are committed to expanding the project to help more families and replace lost holiday presents. They hope to raise awareness and encourage support for those affected by the wildfires.
