Hello, my name is Michael Carrandi. My parents and I lost 33+ years of memories in Altadena, CA. With the dramatic speed of the Eaton Fire in Jan of 2025, my family was lucky to make it out with the clothes on their backs, our 3 cats, and their vehicles. Our community has suffered a complete loss, and we are all in complete shock after this traumatic event. My heart goes out to my friends and their families that have experienced similar loss.

I've never made a GoFundMe and hate the idea of asking strangers for money as we don't want to burden anyone. However, this is a historic event and I'm doing everything possible to help out my family. Anything anyone can spare to help will be forever appreciated. Thank you and good luck to everybody out there that is hurting.
