Moonshadows owner and philanthropist JD Slajchert shares his hopes for the restaurant after LA wildfires and how he stays positive.

In addition to receiving heartfelt messages, the novelist started a GoFundMe for the restaurant staff, which raised over $100,000, and they have been able to serve some of their most popular dishes at their sister spot, The Sunset. While the screenwriter has faced his own hardships recently, it hasn't prevented him from helping others, including those suffering with Sickle Cell Disease after losing his friend and UCSB basketball fan, Luc Bodden, to the health condition. in 2017, Slajchert even launched The LucStrong Foundation, a non-profit organization that supports the family and children diagnosed with the blood disorder, and in 2018, he wrote Moonshadows, a best-selling novel about their bond, both of which constantly inspire him.
