Support Michelle and Sydney Edwards After the Eaton Fire

Dear friends, family, and community,

My name is Isabella Alcaino, and I’m writing to ask for your support for my mom’s dear friend Michelle Edwards and her daughter Sydney. Michelle and my mom, Claudia Alcaino, have been close since their high school days, and our families have always shared a bond that feels like more than friendship—it feels like family.

Tragically, Michelle and Sydney recently lost their home in the Eaton Fire in Pasadena. As a widowed single mom, Michelle has worked tirelessly to provide a loving and stable home for Sydney. This devastating fire has taken away everything they’ve built together—their home, their belongings, and their sense of stability.

Our families have shared countless memories, and seeing them face this hardship is deeply personal to us. We are doing everything we can to help, but we need your support to make a bigger impact.

The funds raised will go directly to helping Michelle and Sydney find temporary housing, replace basic necessities, and start the difficult process of rebuilding their lives. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference for this incredible mother-daughter duo.

Please consider donating and sharing this fundraiser with others who may be able to help. Thank you for your kindness and generosity in supporting a family that means so much to mine.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Isabella Alcaino
