Dear friends, family, and community,

we, as classmates, are reaching out to support Nicole, along with her loved ones, who have experienced a tremendous loss due to the recent Eaton Fire. Nicole is a member of our Alder Graduate School of Education Teacher Residency Cohort. She is a Pasadena High School alumni and a recent graduate from UC Santa Barbara. She is currently a full-time student at AlderGSE, completing her residency in Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD). As a dedicated student and future teacher, she’s always been passionate about making a difference in her community.

Unfortunately, the wildfire devastated her home and took nearly all of her belongings, leaving her with only what she could carry. Though she and her family were safely evacuated, the emotional and financial toll of losing everything they’ve worked for is enormous.

Nicole has shown incredible strength and resilience in the face of adversity, but this time, she can’t do it alone. Your contributions will directly support Nicole’s needs that are not provided by federal aid.

No donation is too small—every little bit will go a long way in helping her regain her footing during this challenging time.

We are deeply grateful for your support as Nicole navigates the emotional and practical aspects of rebuilding after this loss. Your generosity will provide much-needed hope and relief as she takes steps toward a new chapter.

Your kindness means the world to Nicole. Thank you for your support.
