Support James and Virginia’s Recovery from Eaton Fire

James and Virginia are hardworking people who have lost everything in the Eaton fire.

In the early hours of January 8th, they awoke to evacuation orders to leave their home in Altadena immediately. They left their home at 3:30 am with their wedding pictures and the clothes on their back, not knowing when they would return.

Unfortunately, when they returned yesterday, they discovered their home of 29 years was gone with all of their belongings. Their entire block was completely destroyed by the fires.

They are currently staying in a hotel while trying to figure out their next steps. Insurance will eventually help them some, but there are many immediate needs they will have to address while they navigate this immense loss. They will need money for clothing, food, temporary shelter, and essentials. Every dollar counts and will go directly to supporting this incredible couple during this heartbreaking time.

Virginia is my aunt and I am setting up this GoFundMe on her behalf. I would love to help her and James get through the coming weeks without the added financial burdens and worries. If you are able, please donate and share with your friends and family. Each gesture brings them closer to recovery, healing, and rebuilding.
