Hello, my name is Andres. I am a local sustainable farmer in the beautiful city of Altadena.

I recently have been trying to feed folk affected by these tragic wildfires and have tried to forget that my main resource was burned in the flames. Hours before the fire got to us, I thought that the truck would be safe a few blocks below the ranch. I was wrong. After the fire passed us is when I realized that my trailer was also in flames. I take great pleasure in providing my community with fresh, organic, sustainable meat, and this is the main character in my story. I hope my story reaches you all or you have it in you to share it with your friends. Thank you to all, and I truly appreciate every one of you who took the time to read this.

The funds will be used to try to fix, if possible, my burnt-down trailer. Because the thought of having to get rid of such a good resource hurts me. But if I must, I can use the money as a down payment for another one.
