Support Amy, Madi & Santi After Eaton Fire Tragedy

Hi- I'm Amy. My kids and I lost our Family home (my childhood home) to the devastating Eaton Fire, January 7th. It was the house where I grew up, where I raised my two children, Santiago 14, and Madison 18, and where we built a life-time of memories. This was more than a house, it was our safe haven. Altadena is my hometown, it along with my home, is gone, along with a piece of ourselves. As a single mom, I've worked hard to give my kids stability and a sense of belonging.

Now, we are having to start completely over, while we navigate our daily lives- work, high school and rebuilding. I'm reaching out to our friends, family and community for support to help us rebuild our lives after this unimaginable tragedy.

We are humbly asking for your support to meet our most urgent needs. Here's how your donations will make a difference.

1. Temporary Housing: we need a place to live while we figure out next steps. Housing costs are $3 500 per month, and we anticipate we'll be needing support for at least 6 months = $21,000

2. Basic Essentials: Everything from clothes and toiletries to food ad kitchen supplies must be replaced = $5,000

3. School Supplies: Both my kids need laptops and other materials to stay on track with school = $4,000

Our estimated goal is $30,000 which covers a foundation for starting over. Every dollar will help us take on step closer to restoring what we've lost.

Asking for help is never easy, but I've realized in times like this, it's okay to lean on others. Your kindness, whether though a donation or by sharing this page, means the world to us. Together, you can help us rebuild not just a house by the sense of home we've lost. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being part of our journey to recovery.

With love, Amy, Madison and Santiago
