Hi, I'm Michelle's friend Edda!

On Saturday evening, Michelle’s world turned to ashes in a single night. A devastating fire swept through her home in South Pasadena, leaving her with nothing in a matter of moments. She lost her home, belongings, and cherished keepsakes — but not her spirit.

Michelle is one of the most resilient, spirited, and generous people you could ever meet. Now, she needs our help.

As she begins the difficult journey of rebuilding her life, we are reaching out to friends, neighbors, and the community to help ease the burden. Your donations will go directly toward essentials like temporary housing, clothing, and basic household items.

Let’s come together and show Michelle that she is not alone — that we are standing beside her. No contribution is too small.

Thank you so much for your kindness and support.
