Edwin Z, my little-brother-from-another-mother and a beloved friend to anyone he meets, has lost his home in the Eaton/Altadena fire on 01/08/25. He had thankfully evacuated when the power went out in the area, but thought he'd be able to go back home when the power returned. He took almost nothing with him, and when he returned to take a few important things with him, found it was all gone.

There is nothing left for him to do, but there is plenty that we - his friends, neighbors and coworkers - can do to help him rebuild his life. He will need to replace everything! Clothes, furniture, computer (to work!), books, guitars/amps, etc... literally everything! If you can't donate money, please consider helping him to replace some of these. Fire may have taken his stuff, but YOU can help remind him that it has only strengthened his support system and the love around him.

So many, many lives have been changed in just a few hours during these epic fires, and there is need across LA County. Please donate what you can, and thanks in advance for your generosity and prayers.
