<div>In moments of crisis, our community's strength shines brightest. On January 8, 2025, my dear friends Sora, Jacque, and Marcus lost everything when the Eaton Fire swept through Altadena, CA. While they escaped with their lives, the flames consumed their home, cars and all of their possessions - from essential daily items to irreplaceable personal treasures.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Many crucial expenses fall outside of FEMA coverage.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sora, Jacque, and Marcus have always been there for others in our community and now it's our turn to be there for them. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have known Jacque for over 20 years. They have lived in Altadena since the birth of Sora for the last 7 years. Jacque is a lifetime Pasadenan and former Pasadena City Councilmember. Marcus, as a union carpenter, has already been hard at work serving the community despite having needs for his own family. That is the kind of family they are. In addition, Sora’s public school community as well as karate studio is located in Altadena.

</div>
<div>Every donation, no matter the size, will help them rebuild their lives. Please share this campaign with your networks. Your support will show them they're not alone in this challenging time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let's come together to help our friends get back on their feet. Thank you for your generosity and compassion.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>100% of donations will go directly to Sora, Jacque, and Marcus's recovery needs beyond what FEMA can provide.
</div>

</div>
<div>Please reach out if you would like an alternative method/platform of donation.
</div>
<div>We are grateful for your support.
