About us

Founded by survivors of the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires, Your Next Door Neighbor was built from lived experience and a belief that healing happens together. Through both digital tools and in-person activations, we connect neighbors, volunteers, and partners in ways that make recovery human, hopeful, and lasting.

Vision:
We envision a future where recovery is met with compassion, collaboration, and care — where asking for help feels safe, and offering it feels natural. By bringing people together through acts of giving and shared experiences, we aim to transform how communities respond to crisis, ensuring no one has to rebuild alone.
