Hello,

This is so hard for me to write. My family has lived in the Pasadena, Altadena, California area for more than 70 years. It is such a beautiful place. I feel very fortunate to have grown up here. The recent Eaton Canyon Fire has burned much of my town to the ground. We have lost so much, but I am so grateful that we are safe. We have been displaced. My childhood home and most of the entire block has burned to the ground. We cannot get into Altadena to see our home. We don’t know if our house is still standing. We were told there is significant fire damage. It is very difficult to ask for help, but we need help. If you would like to contribute anything, no matter how small, thank you. Prayers are also truly appreciated.
