start a “Billy & Friends” giving circle

Big impact doesn’t have to mean big money. It just takes a few people who care.

what is a “Billy & Friends” giving circle?

Named after the first group who started it, a giving circle is a small group of friends, family, or coworkers who pool donations to support Lotus Rising LA. One person starts the circle. A few others join in. Together, you create something meaningful.

Whether you raise $250 or $1,000, your circle will help LA families rebuild after wildfire. That includes furniture, housing support, and the care that makes a place feel like home.

Billy & his crew

Billy, a life coach, invited his clients to join him in supporting families rebuilding after wildfire. They were the first to step up and say, “We’ll do something.”

Together, they raised $500 through small gifts from coworkers and friends, making them the first official Giving Circle in Lotus Rising LA history.
