Help Lila and Her Family Recover After the Eaton Fire

Hi, my name is Matt, and I’m reaching out on behalf of my beloved niece, Lila, and her family, who have suffered an unimaginable loss in the Eaton fire. Their home in the charming town of Altadena has been completely destroyed. Tragically, their daughter’s school was also reduced to ashes.

Altadena held such a special place in their hearts, but now, it’s all gone. Thankfully, Lila, her husband Levon, their two daughters, Olympia and Romana, and their cats were able to evacuate early and are safe. But their devastation is overwhelming as they face the reality of starting over.

Lila and I have been close since childhood, sharing countless memories, including our first acting classes at the Pasadena Playhouse during middle school. Today, Lila works in the social and mental health field, and Levon is a gifted artist in the animation industry. They’re an amazing, kind-hearted family who bring so much light and creativity into the world, and now they need our help. Any contribution, big or small, would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for your generosity.
