Help Shana & Simone Rebuild After Eaton Canyon WildFires

My name is Nilka Rodgers. I am an educator residing in the DMV area with my family, and I’m reaching out on behalf of my husband's sister, my sister-in-law, Shana Rodgers, and my niece, Simone Rogers, who are facing a difficult time after the devastating wildfires that have swept through Eaton Canyon--Pasadena, California in LA County.

Shana and Simone recently experienced an unimaginable tragedy. Living at the base of Eaton Canyon in Los Angeles, their home and livelihood were profoundly impacted by the fires that swept through the area.

While our family is incredibly grateful that Shana and Simone evacuated safely, their home has suffered immense damage. The entire back of their house has been severely impacted, and they’ve lost all of their furniture, food, and other essentials. On top of this, Simone’s car was significantly damaged and in need of substantial repair. This has negatively impacted her job and source of income, creating even greater challenges in their efforts to rebuild their lives.

We count them fortunate compared to many of their neighbours who lost everything, but the losses they’ve endured are still overwhelming. Shana and Simone now face the monumental task of rebuilding their home and lives, a journey that they cannot take alone.
