Support Tiffany and Aaron after the Eaton Fire in Altadena

Tiffany and Aaron, along with their four boys—Alexander (10), Liam and Logan (2-year-old twins), and Lucian (1)—have been devastated by the Eaton Fire in Altadena which burned their home and community to the ground. Their family has lost so much, and we’re coming together to help them move forward and find stability during this challenging time.

When the Eaton Fire broke out, Tiffany and Aaron rushed to ensure the safety of their young family, but they had to leave so much behind. While they are physically safe, the emotional and financial toll of this crisis is significant.

Aaron has deep roots in this community. He grew up in Pasadena, attending Jefferson Elementary and Marshall Fundamental, before moving to Altadena in 2001. His family lived in the Mariposa Townhomes for over 22 years. As an Eagle Scout, Aaron organized a community effort to restore parts of the Angeles Crest Hiking Area—a project that showcased his love of the outdoors and his dedication to bringing people together. Today, Aaron works as the General Manager at Jimmy John’s in Old Town Pasadena, and he’s also a loving and engaged father who builds imaginative worlds for his kids and friends through Dungeons & Dragons games. Aaron dreams of becoming a blacksmith, welding and creating beautiful pieces while providing for his family’s future.

Tiffany grew up in Highland Park and has always had a passion for creativity and connection. She studied makeup artistry in Chicago and dreams of becoming an editorial makeup artist. As a devoted mom, she pours her heart into organizing and caring for her family, managing everything from her children’s therapy sessions and doctor’s appointments to making their home a place of love and laughter. Tiffany has also worked at Ulta Beauty, all while staying deeply connected to the community through moms’ groups, where she has built many friendships.
