Hello All,

It is with a heavy heart that I have to share that my father and uncle have lost their homes in the recent fires in Altadena. The fire forced them to evacuate in the middle of the night at 3 AM, taking only a few clothes. When they returned later that day, they found their homes completely destroyed, with only the chimney remaining.

They are now faced with the daunting task of rebuilding their lives from the ground up. As they work to recover, they need all the support they can get. Any donation, no matter how small, will make a difference and help them begin to rebuild.

If you’re unable to donate, sharing this message with your network would mean the world to us.

Thank you for your kindness, support, and compassion during this heartbreaking time. We are deeply grateful for your generosity.

Warmly,

Jaja Bakari, Lynn Curtis, Mawuli Bakari
