Founder of Altadena Girls, was class president and student activities coordinator at Elliot Arts Magnet in Altadena. When a devastating fire struck, the remarkable 14-year-old immediately sprang into action, organizing a clothing drive and collecting beauty products and essential items for girls in need. Avery never imagined her recovery fund for the teenage victims of the Eaton Fire, one of multiple blazes raging in Los Angeles County, would go viral. Yet, within 24 hours, it did just that, with Paris Hilton, Mindy Kaling and other celebrities sharing "Altadena Girls" on their Instagram stories.  Avery embodies the true spirit of the open hearts philosophy, passed down by Mieke to Jane and her sisters during their own challenging times. This philosophy encourages looking within to find unique ways to help others. But Avery's vision goes beyond immediate relief; she dreams of creating a dedicated space where girls can grow, connect, and heal. Her unwavering determination to turn short-term aid into lasting change is a powerful reminder of the impact one person can make. Avery's inspiring efforts call on all of us to step up and support our communities in times of crisis.
