Rebuilding Lives After Fire Loss
Our primary objective is to provide focused financial support to families displaced by the Los Angeles wildfires.
We assist households who have lost their homes to fire by contributing to rebuilding efforts and helping stabilize families during the recovery process. Our work is centered on restoring housing continuity, supporting reconstruction, and ensuring families can move forward with dignity and stability. Our mission is specific: To help LA fire victims rebuild their homes and reclaim stability.
The Founder
Meet Michelle
Michelle Marie Matich is a distinguished philanthropist and strategic leader whose work over the past decade has been defined by disciplined execution, measurable impact, and a deep commitment to strengthening vulnerable communities.
Since 2011, Michelle has served as a key partner with the Global Unity Charity Foundation, where she played an instrumental role in mobilizing capital and advancing strategic philanthropic initiatives across multiple sectors. Under her stewardship and collaborative leadership, the foundation helped raise more than $60 million in support of critical causes including anti–human trafficking efforts, education, healthcare, housing, and food security.
Michelle is recognized for her ability to translate philanthropic vision into structured, accountable action. She combines relationship-driven leadership with operational rigor — ensuring that funding is deployed responsibly, impact is measurable, and initiatives are executed with integrity.
Her record reflects not only resource mobilization at scale, but strategic oversight across diverse humanitarian initiatives. Through disciplined stewardship and thoughtful collaboration, she has contributed to advancing sustainable outcomes for families and underserved populations.
Building Miracles Foundation represents the next evolution of Michelle’s work — a focused commitment to housing stability in California. Drawing on years of philanthropic experience and capital strategy, she now directs her expertise toward addressing housing displacement, wildfire recovery transitions, eviction prevention, and stabilization funding for families facing crisis.
Michelle’s leadership is grounded in a clear principle: stability is the foundation of opportunity. By strengthening housing security, she seeks to protect dignity, preserve family continuity, and reinforce community resilience throughout California and eventually to other States.
