<div>My name is Anthony Douglas (33), father of Avery Douglas (7). My home, along with thousands of others in my town of Altadena, was burned to the ground in the Eaton Fire.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Update: 03/25/25</strong>
</div>
<div> We found an apartment! Although the rent is crazy high we are grateful to back in Pasadena after being displaced for so long.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>   I want to start by saying, My daughter and I are extremely grateful to everyone for being so supportive and generous. Navigating the loss of our home and damage to our community has been more difficult than I can even wrap my mind around. But having the love and support from our fellow and neighboring community members has added a bit of sweet to a very bitter situation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>YOUR DONATIONS GO A LONG WAY</strong>
</div>
<div>     Please be cautious when donating to large organizations claiming to collect money for fire victims. 
</div>
<div>     Sadly a lot of the organizations collecting money for fire relief aren’t actually dispensing the funds to the people affected. Instead, keeping most of the money for their organization and then offering us things like water and debris kits.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>OUR IMMEDIATE NEEDS:</strong>
</div>
<div> Reliable Transportation- I currently drive a 2004 GMC Pickup Truck. It’s been on its last legs for a while. But back home my commute was short and the truck was enough to get me by. Since the fire my commute has increased 10x, it no longer passes smog so no registration. Seems like it’s rattling loose from all the traffic and potholes. Needless to say it’s time to replace the ol’ beater. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>HOW HAS THE MONEY BEEN USED?</strong>
</div>
<div> Most all the money we had saved / collected went into getting the apartment and vehicle maintenance.
</div>
<div>________________________
</div>
<div>I set up this GoFundMe for 2 reasons. <strong>First, in order to help provide essential items during our displacement.</strong> Things like gas for my truck, keeping my cell phone on, replacing basic clothes, and some cooking equipment so I can begin to work and sustain myself. <strong>Second, I want to host a free Welcome Home Cookout once we get the all-clear to re-enter the town.</strong> I would love to see all the beautiful people in my city share a meal that really gives them a sense of home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My current occupation is a street food vendor. I serve my community in the parking lot at Ace Smoke Shop Altadena, also burned to rubble, owned by my long-time friend Jacob Grair.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My daughter and I moved back to my childhood home in Altadena during the COVID pandemic, a time during which I lost my job, apartment, and savings, and was swallowed in credit card debt trying to survive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And now, at a time when I've finally found my calling as a culinary artist, have established a trustworthy brand [The Yard L.A.], and am beginning to find the smallest sense of stability, my whole town has burned to the ground.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I thank God my family was able to evacuate safely, and we have been taken in by friends and family for a safe place to lay our heads. The support from the surrounding communities has been amazing and has brought a lot of comfort during this great loss.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our people remain in high spirits and have every intention to rebuild! Thank you for hearing our story
</div>
