My name is Christine and I am reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for your help for my Aunt Marlene. The devastating Eaton Fire has turned her world upside down. She evacuated her home in the early hours Wednesday morning with only the clothes she was wearing and a few important documents. Her home, along with her entire neighborhood in Altadena has been completely destroyed.

My Aunt Marlene is the most compassionate, gentle, and loving person you could ever meet. She poured her life into building a beautiful home for her and her daughter. She now faces the overwhelming task of picking up her life from nothing, and any help -- no matter how small -- would help get her back on her feet while she navigates the tough road ahead. This devastating loss is something no one should have to endure alone. The funds will be used for essentials she will need.

My heart and prayers are with everyone affected by this tragedy and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness and generosity. Thank you.
