Help Us Revive and Recover Pasadena Learning Center (PLC) After the Fire

Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters,

As many of you know, Pasadena Learning Center (PLC) has been the heart of academic growth and community for students in Pasadena and Altadena for over 10 years. We've had the privilege of tutoring and mentoring countless students, helping them build confidence, improve their skills, and achieve their academic goals.

Sadly, our beloved learning center was destroyed in the recent fires. This loss has been devastating—not only to us personally but to the many students and families who have relied on us for support. In the midst of the tragedy, we know that many families in our community are facing even greater challenges, having lost their homes and possessions. Our heart goes out to all those affected.

While it’s difficult to focus on rebuilding at a time when so many are hurting, I want to assure you that Pasadena Learning Center is committed to coming back stronger than ever. Education and support have always been our passion, and we truly believe that we can rebuild, restore, and continue to serve the community that has supported us for so long.

How You Can Help:

Starting over will take time, but with your help, we can start the journey. Any donation—no matter the size—will make a huge difference in helping us get back on our feet. These funds will go toward:

- Finding a new space to operate our tutoring services.

- Replacing lost equipment and materials.

- Seeking support to cover unexpected cost.

- Ensuring that we can provide services to students who need help the most, especially in this difficult time.

I understand that many people are dealing with their own losses right now, and any support—whether it's a financial donation, sharing this campaign, or simply sending kind thoughts—means the world to us. Together, we can rebuild and continue the important work of helping students achieve their potential.

Thank you for your generosity and support. We look forward to welcoming you back to Pasadena Learning Center soon.

With gratitude,

Kimberly Knudson & Mary Shimazaki

Owner, Pasadena Learning Center (PLC)
