Support Herman and Juanita's Recovery from Eaton Fire

My name is Shelise, and I am fundraising on behalf of my grandparents, Herman and Juanita Landry. On 1/8/25, my grandparents tragically lost their home of nearly 50 years—and everything they owned—to the devastating Eaton Fire in Altadena, CA.

Herman and Juanita have lived in their beloved Altadena home since 1976, creating a lifetime of memories and building a strong, supportive presence in their community. Herman, a retired Marine and former police officer with the LAPD, dedicated his life to service and protection. Jaunita spent 20 years helping others as a dedicated employee at Wells Fargo before working another 15 years for the Dodgers organization, bringing joy to fans and supporting the team behind the scenes.

These two loving and hardworking people have always put family, faith, and community first. They’ve weathered life’s storms with grace, but this fire has left them completely devastated. Their home, filled with decades of memories, is gone. Clothes, furniture, keepsakes, photographs—everything they’ve built together over the years—has been lost.

I am their granddaughter, and I live in Arcata, CA. I have always admired their resilience and generosity, and I am organizing this fundraiser to help them recover from this unimaginable loss.

The funds raised here will go directly to helping my grandparents:

• Secure temporary housing

• Replace essential items such as clothing and daily necessities

• Cover expenses as they navigate their next steps

Every dollar raised will be used to help my grandparents regain a sense of normalcy and comfort. I will personally ensure that all funds are spent as outlined above, and I will provide updates on their progress as we move forward.

If you are unable to donate, we completely understand—but sharing this campaign with others would mean the world to us. Herman and Jaunita have spent their lives giving back to their family and community, and now we have the chance to rally together to support them in their time of need.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your love, generosity, and prayers. Together, we can help these two incredible people begin to heal and rebuild their lives.

With gratitude,

Shelise Landry
