Dear family, friends and beloved community,

Our home, everything we owned, and generations of history have been destroyed by the Eaton wildfire.

As a mother with a deep love for my community this loss is overwhelming and devastating. The home that my grandparents built and lived in for over 40 years, that my daughter and I recently moved into, is gone.

Thankfully, we, my grandma, cousin, and other family members are safe.

I am asking for your help as I work to support myself and my daughter in getting back on our feet, remain healthy, and support other loved ones.

We are deeply grateful for any support you can offer us and the Dena community during this incredibly difficult time. No donation is too small.

With love and gratitude,

Ife, a proud Dena girl

Update: Thank you so so much for your contributions! We are eternally grateful.

I’ve increased my goal amount due to being asked by people several people if they can continue to donate and support us. In addition to learning that I won’t get much assistance from FEMA like I anticipated.

We’re also accepting non-monetary donations if you would prefer to contribute that way.
