Help the Medina Family start over after the Eaton Fire

Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,

We are reaching out on behalf of Antonio, Lana, and their two children Nayla (13 years old) and Mateo (9 years old) who have experienced an unimaginable loss in the Eaton Fire. They just purchased their first home in May of 2024, and it is now completely gone along with one of their cars and all of their belongings. This is a devastating loss for them.

As Lana shared, "There are no words, just tears. These are our friends, our kids' friends, teachers and neighbors' homes.

We ran out with just two sets of clothes and our bunny.

We are fine, safe and together. However, we are heartbroken that our new home is gone, along with our daughter's school and many of our friends' home."

While we are grateful beyond measure that they are safe, the road ahead is daunting. They are now facing the overwhelming challenge of starting over from scratch.

So many of you have reached out asking how to help, and in response, we have set up this GoFundMe campaign. Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a real difference in helping Antonio, Lana, Nayla, and Mateo find stability again. Your support will help them through this challenging time to get back on their feet.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your generosity and support during this heartbreaking time. Together, we can help them heal and move forward.

With gratitude,

Katy & Jose Luis Medina
