We never imagined that we would have to ask for help.

Jamie, our pup Robin, and I are safe, but our beloved Altadena family home and all our belongings were completely destroyed in the Eaton Fire on January 8th. We’ve been humbled by the support of friends and family.

If you can help us recover, please donate here. Your contributions will go towards replacing our essential belongings (e.g. clothing, bedding, small electrics, pet supplies) as well as potential travel and interim housing costs not covered by insurance.

This account was set up by me, Carolyn Finger, and any funds will be deposited into my B of A joint checking account with Jamie O’Connor.

Our story is far from unique, but we are grateful for your well wishes.
