According to Los Angeles Police Department, "A vehicle ran off the road and collided with a home in the 1700 block of Walgrove Avenue in Mar Vista. The vehicle became engulfed in flames." The vehicle was being driven by Heche who was reportedly inebriated. Mishele was in the backyard of her home at the time of the crash. "The car drove at least 30 feet into the house," added the police. The fundraiser for Mishele is to help her start her life again after the tragic loss. The fundraiser raised over $45,000 in just one day and today it stands at $100,000
The campaign stated: "Lynne lives in the Mar Vista home that was destroyed this week by a car driving into the home at a high rate of speed, catching the house on fire. She has two adorable pups named Bree and Rueban, as well as the tortoise Marley. What makes Lynne's loss of all of her belongings—including mementos, all of her business equipment, including her laptop and iPad, all of her clothing and essentials, and all household goods—even more upsetting. She was able to extract a few damaged sentimental items from the debris with the aid of the firefighters. The rest is no longer there."
"A kind and generous person, Lynne is always first to offer help to others. Today we are asking the community to come together and help Lynne start over. Please, please join us - 100% of the proceeds from this fundraiser are going directly to Lynne Mishele," says the campaign note. The note also stated, "Lynne and her family very narrowly escaped physical harm, and for that, we are very, very grateful." The fundraiser also provided pictures and videos of the destroyed home.
