Support Teana, Enzo and Family after Eaton Fire

Ursula mothersbaugh is organizing this fundraiser on behalf of Lorenzo Tackett.

Donation protected

I am reaching out today on behalf of my friends Teana and Enzo, owners of High Stakes Barber Shop in Altadena and their lovely daughters Raygan and Scarlette. Their shop has miraculously survived the blaze but is located in the evacuation zone, so they cannot access it at this time. Power is off in the area and they are left to assume that there will be extensive smoke damage to the structure and equipment that will prevent them from reopening anytime soon. Without the ability to work they have no way of earning income. These funds will allow them to address the many aspects of recovery and support their family during this crisis. They will also be busy supporting their daughters, both students at Odyssey South Charter school that was sadly lost in the fire.

If you know this couple, you know they were hesitant when I offered to create this fundraiser. They are the type to always offer help and have a generosity apparent to anyone who knows them. I have been lucky to know them through our kids going to school together and then joining the same roller derby league. They always volunteer to help, working league events and even holding a fundraiser for the school where they donated a full day of haircuts!

They opened their shop in 2020 and it managed to survive covid, a time that was crippling for the industry. In these years they have worked so hard and created a fun and welcoming shop that added character to the neighborhood. It is heartbreaking to imagine all the shops that were lost to the fire, this is something we can do to make sure the community still has small businesses as it rebuilds. These two are also so good at what they do, seriously, book a haircut when the shop is open again!

Every donation counts, no matter how big or small. Your generosity will go a long way. Please consider contributing, and if you are unable to donate at this time, sharing this page with your friends, family, and social networks will also make a huge difference.
