<div>I am organizing this fundraiser on behalf of <strong>Andrea Robles </strong>after the Eaton Fire has devastated Andrea and her family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I met Andrea in 8th grade at Marshall Fundamental Secondary School in Pasadena. Andrea and I were on the Dance Team together, we were in each other's quinceañeras, we served on cabinets of school clubs together, and we served the Altadena &amp; Pasadena communities together. I love Andrea and her family. It hurts to see my beautiful friend and her family in so much pain after the place they called home and grew up in burned down.

<div>After her parents and brothers moved out, Andrea was living in and caring for the family home. She lived there with her dog, Chavo, a sweet and loving pit bull. She has lost not just the basics but every irreplaceable item; from family heirlooms, books, plants, artwork, to one-of-a-kind Polaroids and photos, and all her memory boxes that held items from her childhood.

<div>I’ve seen Andrea make this home her sanctuary. Andrea and I painted her bedroom together, including a fun purple closet! I saw her family remodel and update everything inside and outside the house.

<div>This is where Chavo grew up and has been his only home. He is very confused and probably wondering when he will go home :(

<div>La Virgencita is one of the very few things that made it.
