Your kindness bridges the gap when it matters most.

Because of generous people like you, she won’t have to face this crisis alone. The Galaxy Fund provides emergency financial assistance within 24–48 hours—helping families stay housed, hopeful, and moving forward.

Today, we celebrate the life and legacy of the visionary who helped spark the dream that became The Starfish Connection. On what would have been John’s 75th birthday, we honor his memory and the love that guided our mission into being.

Together with Virginia, John nurtured a dream rooted in love: that sharing our stories and giving generously in times of crisis can spark healing, connection, and resilience. His life was defined by service, strength, integrity, and joy. Though John passed away in 2018, his spirit continues to shape every act of hope we give.

Happy Birthday, John. Your legacy lives on—in every story shared, every life touched, and every gift of hope we give.

Special thanks to those who have joined John's Legacy Circle. We are also grateful to the community businesses & individuals who sponsored events, donated time, in kind support, monthly donors and those who have joined us for various events - YOU are all The Starfish Connection.

At its core, The Starfish Connection acts as a bridge—a connector between individuals in need, the nonprofits who support them, and the generous community members who want to make a difference. Through our trusted partnerships with nonprofit agencies across California’s Central Coast, we’re able to respond to financial assistance requests within 24–48 hours, offering immediate relief and restoring a sense of stability and hope.

This quarter we partnered with 8 nonprofits: Friends of Fieldworkers, Freedom 4 Youth, Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation, Immigrant Legal Defense Center, Carpinteria Children's Project, Hospice of Santa Barbara, SBCC Basic Needs Program, & Hearts Aligned.
