On behalf of my father, Armando Mercado, and my elderly grandma, Beatrice Machuca, I have created this GoFundMe. Our family has called Altadena home since 2009 and has found a true sense of community here.

Tragically, due to the Eaton fire, Armando and Beatrice now face displacement and the loss of many of their belongings. Despite these challenges, my father remains dedicated to the community he loves so much, volunteering every chance he gets.

Our family hopes to rebuild our life in Altadena. Your kindness and support will help them cover urgent expenses as Armando and Beatrice work to recover and rebuild. We deeply appreciate any contributions and your kindness as we navigate this difficult time.
