Help Mother Rebuild after losing everything in Eaton Fire

*URGENT EMERGENCY UPDATE 8/1/25 - I am still really struggling and having issues finding a safe rental. I need urgent help getting a home and a reliable car for the kids. PLEASE help if you can. Thank you so much for everyone who donated.

Hi, my name is Kahnai Jackson. I am a 27 year old mother of two beautiful children. We were renting a room in Altadena when the Eaton Fire took everything we owned and left us with nothing but Each Other.

While there have been a lot of resources made available to survivors of the fire—there have not been housing and financial resources for people like me who were renting rooms. We have slipped through the cracks because I didn’t have paperwork saying I was a homeowner or was renting an apartment, I haven’t been able to get much help.

Because of this, I have been living in a motel room with my kids since January 8, 2025.

I have been trying to go to school and pay $800 a week to keep my kids and I housed in a motel room —but I need urgent help. We were already struggling before the fire and now to lose everything including our housing has really hurt us.

This will help us stay off the streets and get into a new home.

I just want to provide a better life for my kids, so if you could find it in your heart to help, I would really appreciate it. Thank you. Have a blessed day.
