Help Uncle Neil Return to Altadena After Fire Devastation

Our Uncle Neil grew up and raised his son and grandchildren in Altadena, which has been his home all of his life. Neil attended architecture school and is most passionate about his family, architecture and tennis. Now the fires have erased his house and the entire community he called home. Taken by surprise, Neil woke up in the dark of night to smoke filling his room. He left his home in a hurry with the flames already engulfing his yard and returned with it completely burned to the ground. His entire life, memories and livelihood were in his home. Neil has always been selfless in nature. With a quick smile, a rare joy and humor, Neil spreads laughter and kindness to all who know him and has always readily come to the aid of those in the community, even helping others rebuild in past fires. Now he will have to fight to rebuild his own home as insurance had completely retracted fire coverage a few short months ago. Neil is a resilient man, however, he is a man of modest means and will need help to restore his life and community. Thank you deeply for your consideration and kindness!
