<div>Hello All,

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Our Clinical Director at Step Up on Second, Kathleen Acosta Ekins, and her family had to quickly evacuate their home as they saw the Eaton Fire in Altadena fast approaching. Kathleen, her husband Matt, and their son Luke left quickly with their dog and kitty, each with only small number of items in hand. Thankfully, they are all safe, but<strong> their home and all their memories were burned to the ground and they were left with nothing.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>They have a long road ahead of them in which they will need to:</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<ul>

<li>Secure new housing

</li>

<li>Replace essential items - clothing, school supplies, pet supplies, kitchen items.

</li>

<li>Rebuild their lives - moving expenses, furniture

</li>

</ul>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Everyday, Kathleen gives her all by supporting her staff and serving the community. In this time of need, please give what you can to <strong>The Ekins Family </strong>and help in any way you can to assist anyone effected by these devastating fires.
