Please help support the Madrid Family. We are a group of friends who, like so many, are trying to find ways to help our loved ones and dear friends who have lost their homes in the LA fires. We are creating this GoFundMe on our friends' behalf. Our friends, Jesse and Sareen, lost their home in Altadena in the Eaton Canyon Fire on 1/8/2025. Their home is where they were raising their two children, Luna (age 5) and Rayo (age 3), and it is where they worked full-time. The family is safe, but both their personal and professional belongings are completely lost. We are creating this fundraiser to help support them in the short term while they take the first steps toward recovery.

Your donation will support the Madrids in the short term. To be as transparent as possible amid an immense need in our community right now, this page will provide regular updates on fundraising progress and when the funds make their way to J + S.

Jesse and Sareen are resilient as hell and we love them a lot. Let's share what we can to help them get back on their feet.
