On Wednesday, January 8th, my godfather Pat lost his home to the Eaton Fire in Altadena, CA. Pat and his brother Steve lost almost all of their possessions. They only had time to save important documents, their two cats, some clothes, a couple of photo albums, and a hard drive of Pat's photography.

The scale of the loss is immense. Pat lost his home of 20+ years, all of his work equipment, art collected over decades, and a well-maintained garden first planted by his late husband. Steve lost his workshop containing a vintage car he was fixing up.

Pat has always been a rock in my life as my godfather. He's "Uncle Pat" in the family. He's always been there for me, and I want to help him out in his time of need. Any financial donations will go to helping Pat and Steve rebuild their lives and would be greatly appreciated by the Rand family and mine, the Musen family.
