35 years of living in Pasadena and to watch my livelihood go up in flames has been my greatest nightmare. I've never been a materialistic person, but seeing my life possessions diminish to ash has made me value life itself even more.

Not to mention being traumatized by the tragic loss of my Uncle Wendell and his wife, Beverly Harmon, who were victims of a double homicide on December 20th, 2024, whose house was also destroyed by the fire.

Anything can help in these trying times as me and my family try to pick up the pieces of these devastating events.

Thank you for your time.
