Hi, my name is Cindy Benitez, and my sisters and I have created this page on behalf of our beloved niece, Sidney Benitez, and the Montenegro family, who tragically lost their home in the California destructive Eaton Canyon fires on January 7. It is said that 90 percent of Altadena, CA, has been destroyed by these fires. This heartbreaking event has left our family in shock and in deep sorrow, as they not only lost their family home—a place filled with cherished memories—but also their personal belongings and beloved pets.

In the blink of an eye, everything they had was taken from them. Currently, they are staying in shelters, trying to navigate this overwhelming loss while facing the challenge of rebuilding their lives. They are in urgent need of essential living supplies and will need help finding a new home to begin the long journey of recovery.

We humbly ask for your support during this incredibly difficult time. Your donations will go directly to our niece and her family to help them get back on their feet. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference in their lives and is deeply appreciated. All funds will go directly to Sidney’s mom’s bank account for full transparency.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity in helping this family rebuild and heal.
