We are completely heartbroken and still in disbelief that our Marigold home is officially gone. It was just a normal dinner night for us until we got the news and within minutes had to flee. Not much was grabbed as we believed that our home would be fine, but the fire took a turn for the worst.

We feel for our neighbors and the Altadena community. We leave it all in God's hands and we only move forward and build up from here.

I'm grateful to my family, friends, coworkers, strangers, and really the community for all your support. We are safe and together. Altadena Strong.

There is no such thing as a small donation; anything will help. Your support will help cover unexpected costs and help get back on our feet during this challenging time. Cathy, Richard, and Mateo are eternally grateful.
