Dear Family, Friends, and Community,

Our hearts are heavy as we share the devastating news that my twin sister, Katie (Stephenson) Estorga, and brother-in-law's, Jeremy Estorga, home in Altadena was destroyed by the Eaton Wildfire. The fire claimed their home, their car, and nearly all their belongings, leaving them with very little as they face this unimaginable loss.

Katie and Jeremy are such an adventurous and kindhearted couple. They moved to Altadena last March to be closer to JPL, where Katie works, and they absolutely fell in love with their new community. They spent their time trail running, rock climbing, and hanging out in their backyard with their two cats, Mrs. Norris and Birdie. Their home was so full of love and joy, and it's heartbreaking to see them lose everything. We just want to help them with recovery and find their happiness again.

While they were able to save a few smaller sentimental items and, thankfully, their cats, they are now left to start their lives over from scratch.

Katie and Jeremy, who were newly married this past June, are trying to stay strong, but they need our help.

Your contributions will help them with:

Immediate essentials like clothing, food, and toiletries

Temporary housing and living expenses

Replacing lost furniture, appliances, and household items

Saving for a reliable vehicle

Please consider contributing to help them get back on their feet. Any amount—big or small—will make a meaningful difference in their journey to creating a home again. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page with others would mean the world to them.

We are incredibly grateful for your kindness, generosity, and love during this heartbreaking time. Let’s show Katie and Jeremy that they are not alone in this.

With gratitude,

Karlee (Stephenson) Caraveo
