Dear friends and compassionate strangers,

The Stephens family has faced an unimaginable loss as they recently lost their home and all their belongings in the Eaton wildfire that devastated our Altadena community. They are now left with only a few pictures and clothes that they grabbed as they raced out of their home, and now facing the emotional and financial challenges of starting over.

Al and Marilyn have always been pillars of support in our family and community, and now it's our turn to help them. We are raising funds to cover their immediate needs—clothing, food, and basic necessities—as well as to assist them in the long journey of rebuilding their lives.

Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference. Your support will not only ease their financial burden but also offer them hope during this difficult time.

Please consider donating, and if you can’t contribute financially, sharing this campaign would mean the world to us. Together, we can help Al and Marilyn find stability and rebuild after this tragedy.

Thank you for your kindness and support.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Azizi H. Stephens James

Daughter of Al & Marilyn
