I’m truly sorry for your family’s loss. Here’s a suggested GoFundMe bio that you can use to share your father’s story and rally support:

Help Paul Johnson & Family Recover from the Altadena Eden Fire

On January 8, 2025, my father, Paul Johnson, and his wife Yasmin, tragically lost everything when their home was consumed by the Altadena Eaton fire. This was the home where I grew up — a place filled with memories, photographs, and trophies, all of which are now gone. My father’s lifelong collection of model cars and three of his personal vehicles were also lost in the flames.

Paul is a kind, funny, and incredibly generous man who has spent his life helping others. Whether it’s offering a hand to a neighbor in need or brightening someone’s day with his humor, he has always put others before himself. Now, Paul and Yasmin need help as they face the daunting task of rebuilding their lives from scratch.

While insurance will eventually help with the rebuild, there is an immediate need for financial support to cover everyday expenses as they try to regain some stability. Your generous donations will help them with living costs, temporary housing, and essential items until they can get back on their feet.

This was a home full of memories, and the emotional toll is hard to put into words. But we know that with your support, Paul and Yasmin will find the strength to move forward. No donation is too small, and every bit helps.

If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this campaign with your network. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness and generosity during this incredibly difficult time. Any unused donations will be donated to the other victims of the fires in Altadena.
