Rebuilding Hope: Support the McFadden's After the Eaton Fire

Dear Friends, Family, and Community,

My name is Yesel Arvizu, and I have had the privilege of being a longtime friend of Tom McFadden. We met years ago during one of our kids' fundraising events at Annunciation Catholic School in Arcadia, California, and from that moment, a beautiful friendship filled with adventures began.

The devastating fires sweeping through the LA area have touched us all in profound ways. These fires have left behind unimaginable heartbreak, destroying not only vegetation and wildlife but also entire neighborhoods, cherished homes, and, most tragically, human lives and beloved pets.

In Altadena, the Eaton Fire tore through dense neighborhoods, leaving a trail of destruction. Among those affected is our dear friend, Tom McFadden. The home that had been in his family since 1972 was completely destroyed, along with everything they cherished. The McFadden family has lost everything, and the weight of this tragedy is truly unfathomable.

Many of us know Tom as someone who always gives back. Whether coaching kids at soccer games, organizing school fundraisers, or volunteering in countless other ways, Tom has always been there for our community. Now, as he and his family face this overwhelming loss, they remain resilient and grateful despite the challenges.

This is a moment for all of us to come together to support them. All donations will go directly to Tom and his family, helping them take the first steps toward rebuilding their lives. Anything you can give—big or small—will help the McFadden family as they begin the painful journey of rebuilding their lives.

Your compassion and generosity mean the world. Thank you for your kindness, and may God bless and protect you and your loved ones.

With gratitude,

Yesel Arvizu
