Dear Community,

We, friends and parents, are reaching out on behalf of our dear friends Jessica and her young daughter Marina, who have been deeply impacted by the recent devastating fires in Altadena, California.

Their home was completely destroyed in the Eaton Fire forcing them to evacuate and stay in temporary housing. Currently, they’re living in an Airbnb but searching for more long term housing while their land is cleaned and home is completely rebuilt which will likely take years. They also lost their beloved pig, Bacon.

Unfortunately, Marina’s school was also completely destroyed in the fires, disrupting her education but with a deeply supportive community wanting to see them recover from this trauma.

Of course, no one plans for this kind of loss or the financial strain of being displaced. We are asking for your help to ease their burden.

Your contributions will go directly toward expenses not covered by insurance or FEMA:

Temporary Housing and Living Expenses: Helping them maintain a safe and stable place to stay while displaced. Resources for basic needs.

Marina’s School Community: Assisting the school as they recover from the devastation brought on to the community and support Marina in returning to her beautiful school once there is a new temporary location.

It’s a long road to recovery and even a small donation helps. Thank you for your kindness and support during this incredibly difficult time.

With gratitude,

PWS 5th Grade Parents
