We are raising funds for Melynda and 6-year-old Raiyne to help them cover unexpected costs and to get back on their feet. Raiyne attends Altadena Arts Magnet with our daughter. Melynda is the surrogate mother to Raiyne and acts as a mother figure to many other children, including our own child.

Raiyne lives with Melynda, her aunt, but her doors were open to any child in need. Her home, her vehicle, and all of her and Raiyne's possessions were destroyed by the Eaton fire. She and Raiyne are distraught, but surviving the best way that they can. Please help them if you are able to.
