My name is Mary Beth Steiger. My husband Joe and I have lived in Altadena for 35 years. We love our home and community. The Eaton Canyon wildfire destroyed our home, business, and everything in it. I have just completed a year of cancer treatment and 2025 was going to be our year.

It has now become the year of an unknown future. We feel okay one moment, then the next moment have a panic attack. It is a full-time job researching what to do and completing endless applications. It is embarrassing to ask people for assistance. Thank you for any contribution you may be able to make. Please help us rebuild our spirits and home.

The funds will be used to help us live while creating a new life by rebuilding or buying in a new elsewhere.
