Dear Family, Friends and kind strangers,

It’s with the heaviest and humblest of hearts that I’m reaching out to you all today, I find myself in need of all of your support.

Tragically, on January 8th, 2025 our city Altadena, California was taken by the Eaton Fire. I along with all my family members and friends have been greatly impacted. Most of us were forced to leave behind our possessions, along with some invaluable parts of our lives and most cherished memories. We are thankful to be safe, but the losses have been tremendously devastating.



I am seeking support to cover unexpected costs, essential necessities like food and housing, and to replace my tools which are my primary source of income (I have worked on homes for many years, without basic equipment I am very limited in what i can do for work).

This experience has shown me that some things are beyond me, alone. I have hope that with all of your help I’ll be able to begin getting back on my feet after this fire.

Every dollar makes a difference but please only donate if you are in a position to help. If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser with your network.

With the utmost heartfelt gratitude,

-Luis Mota
