My name is Connie Johnson, and for 25 years, I’ve had the honor of calling Altadena home. I’ve built memories, friendships, and a life here—surrounded by the beauty of the mountains and the vibrant community I love. But everything changed when the wildfires of Eaton Canyon tore through our town, taking my home and everything I had with it.

I lost not just a place to live, but everything that made it special—the familiar surroundings, cherished belongings, and even my car. It feels like my world was upended in an instant, and while I am devastated, I know I am not alone.

Every dollar donated will go directly towards the costs of replacing basic essentials, and the warmth and safety I once had. Your generosity will allow me to remain in the community I love so much, a community that has always supported one another.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Your kindness means the world to me, and I am forever grateful for any help you can provide as I work to rebuild my life and home in Altadena.

With love and gratitude,

Connie Johnson
