Rebuilding Carla's Life from Ashes

Donation protected
Dear Friends and Family,

It is with heavy hearts that we share that yesterday, our Aunt Carla and cousins Bryce and Lyric’s home was completely destroyed by the Eaton Canyon Fires in Altadena. This tragedy spread across their entire block and neighborhood, leaving it all burned down to ashes. Fast and traumatic evacuations from the home on January 7th and by the next morning everything was gone. They are emotionally overwhelmed with a mix of grief and numbness—100% personal property loss; the home, clothes, all their belongings, and basic essentials leaving them with a complete sense of NOTHINGNESS. Due to the living agreement structure, unfortunately they will not be receiving any insurance coverage which makes her needs even greater, literally starting from ground ZERO.

During this incredibly difficult time, we are asking for your help to support Carla, Bryce and Lyric as they works to rebuild their lives. Every contribution will make a world of difference in their journey to recovery. Your generous donations will go directly towards helping them get back on their feet and rebuild their lives.

A message from Carla:
"We want to express our gratitude for your support. It’s so easy to try to help with just words, but now that I am in this impossible situation, I can honestly say… sending money help us—REALLY does help. Please don’t just re-share or say things. Gift cards to Trader Joe's, Whole foods, or money really does help. I JUST WANT TO GO HOME!!!—and I may never ever be able to see that again. YOU NEVER THINK IT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU, UNTIL IT DOES!!

Thank you so much for your kindness, love, and support. Together we can help Carla, Bryce and Lyric find hope and rebuild from this tragedy.
