Emotional Support Animal Letters

In response to the Los Angeles fires and ongoing housing challenges, Gather & Grow OC is offering sliding-scale ESA documentation services ($0-150) to help community members keep their animal companions during displacement. Our ESA letters, provided by licensed mental health professionals, verify the therapeutic benefits of emotional support animals and protect housing rights. Contact hello@gatherandgrowoc.com with "ESA Letter Request" to begin the process.
