Our close family friends, The Sweredoski Family - Kristin, Mike, and Zachary, and their cat Willow have lost their home in the Eaton fire. Everything was decimated, and they need help to rebuild. They have not been able to go back yet but left with just the basics to survive for a just a few days, including a couple of changes of clothes and their most important photos and documents.

Kristin (maiden name Yonts) grew up in Orange County and Mike grew up in New York and came to Orange County for school where he met Kristin. The family has called Altadena their home for more than 15 years. They are actively involved in their community including coaching little league and beyond.

Like so many others affected by these fires, they are trying to figure out their next steps, including where they will live and just get by on a day-to-day basis. They need all the help they can get to help them rebuild their lives. If there’s anything you can do to help, it would be so appreciated. We are all heartbroken for their loss of their beautiful home that was the center of their family.
