My name is Jeanette and I'm heartbroken to organize this fundraiser on behalf of my good friends, Anne, John, Jadyn, and Alyssa Tipton (and Papas). Their home of 20 years completely burned down Wednesday in the devastating Eaton Fire in Altadena, CA.

Anne and I volunteered together in Northwest Pasadena in the 90s, we taught at Monte Vista Elementary School in Highland Park where she continues to work today, and raised our kids together.

The Tiptons only took a few items when evacuating, thinking it was a temporary measure. Now their house and possessions are gone, so they will need to start from scratch. Funds will go towards immediate needs such as clothes, toiletries, supplies, and food. Please consider giving what you can—any donation, no matter the size, helps.

Our community is in a state of shock. Please keep sending prayers, positive thoughts, and any help you can offer this way.

With love and appreciation,

Jeanette
