Dear Friends and Community,

My name is Lisa S. Santa Cruz, and I’m reaching out for your support to help my mother, who has been profoundly affected by the recent Eaton fire in our hometown of Altadena. Thankfully, she is safe, but the fire has left her facing overwhelming challenges as she addresses immediate needs and navigates this difficult time while managing a serious illness.

For as long as I can remember, my parents have been the first to help anyone in need—quietly and selflessly supporting family, friends, and even strangers, never asking for anything in return. So many have called, asking how they can support my mother during this time, as my parents have always been first in line to offer help to others.

Now, I’m asking for your help to give back to her. The funds raised through this GoFundMe will provide essential support and help address needs that may not be fully covered elsewhere.

Any contribution, big or small, will make a meaningful difference. If you’re unable to donate, simply sharing this campaign would mean the world to us.

Thank you for your kindness, support, and generosity. Together, we can provide my mother with the stability and peace of mind she needs to navigate this challenging time.
