My Godparents, Linda Brooks and Aaron Allen, have lost their home of 24 years in the Eaton fire. While they were able to evacuate safely, they have tragically lost their craftsman bungalow, car, and all of their belongings. They fled their home on Tuesday night with only the clothes on their back. They have loved Altadena for years and have been actively involved in their community. Their door was always open for meals, conversation, art, music, creativity, or a nice dip in the pool. While the entire home is lost, their neighborhood library box in their front yard has survived. It seems so fitting that the home that was once open to so many friends, loved ones, and neighbors has a small token of love that is still standing for this devastated community.

While they are insured, there is much rebuilding that they must take on immediately. Your help will allow us to address the many aspects of recovery and cover needs that may not be addressed by other aid. The community of Altadena and greater Los Angeles has been completely devastated. This tragedy is widespread, but every home has a story that was once filled with love and family. I ask that you help this home, it certainly was a source for both.

No donation is too small and every dollar amount would make a big difference.

Please share this fundraiser with anyone that would like to donate directly to victims of the Los Angeles fires.
