Mayra, Christian, Ximena, and Sam Santoro have been residents of Altadena, CA, for 15+ years and experienced the devastation of the Eaton Fire. Thankfully, the Santoro family and their two cats made it to safety, but their home, memories, and belongings were completely burned in the fire. They have poured much love and labor into their home; this loss is incredibly profound. Daughters Ximena and Sam are current first-generation UC Berkeley and Cal Poly Pomona college students, respectively, so this emergency puts an additional strain on their educational finances. The Santoro family has served the Altadena/Pasadena community for many years as active church members and volunteers at Huntington Hospital.

We now ask that the community extend help during this difficult time as they attempt to secure aid for unexpected costs and to get back on their feet.

We ask anyone who can: please donate so the Santoro family has the finances to pay for needs that might not be fully covered by other sources of aid. Anything and everything helps, thank you so much.
