I'm Tiffany, a small business owner in the Los Angeles area. I’m writing this in an attempt to do SOMETHING to help my friends who have suffered EXTREME losses due to the deadly Eaton fire in the Altadena/Pasadena areas. I just learned that 2 of my friends that I know from work have already lost their homes 100%, along with of course the home contents and even their cars due to the January 2025 wildfires. Any donations would be appreciated. No amount is too small. Financial assistance is ideal, but donations of vehicles, clothing would help now, and possibly furniture, etc would be helpful as they attempt to rebuild their lives in the future.

Please note that we are still trying to get in touch with other work colleagues who have evacuated to see how many of them have been affected by the 2025 wildfires and what their needs are, so I may unfortunately have to add more people to this fundraising effort.

Can you imagine having to RUN for your lives to flee a raging fire with only what you could carry in your hands? The recipients will initially use the money for food, toiletries, and immediate shelter. However, they will need to eventually replace EVERYTHING. Even though you and I know that many things in our homes are simply irreplaceable.

The January 2025 Southern California wildfires are an ongoing series of wildfires affecting the Los Angeles metropolitan area and surrounding regions starting January 7, 2025, which were associated with meteorological conditions including hurricane-force Santa Ana winds, very low humidity, and prolonged drought conditions that led to extreme fire danger. Weather officials designated the associated windstorm as potentially the most severe to affect the region since the 2011 Davis County windstorm, prompting several rare particularly dangerous situation warnings. The conditions led to several deaths, and power outages caused multiple wildfire outbreaks, such as the Palisades Fire, Eaton Fire, and the Hurst Fire.

I'm going to withdraw the funds and I plan to distribute them by check to the recipients.
