It was exciting to see the frenzied bidding at the end of the auction, but we know it left a lot of people disappointed they were outbid. But you can still turn the disappointment of not getting the item you wanted into a rushing glow of endorphins by helping those devastated by the wildfires...🧵

WE DID IT! Thanks to your generosity we smashed our fundraising target, and we are so incredibly grateful to everyone who donated, bid, shared, and supported. You showed up for Los Angeles, and we can’t thank you enough! The @Kidlit For Los Angeles team (Caroline, Charlotte, Tara and Jocelyn) 💖
