Our daughter's wonderful 4th grade teacher, Vivienne Richardson, and her beautiful family lost their home in the Eaton Fire. Vivienne, Yannick, Osias, and Lucien are a part of the vibrant Altadena community where Vivienne teaches with warmth, energy, and care at Odyssey Charter School and where their older son, Osias, attends Odyssey South. Also sadly, Odyssey South was completely lost in the fire so now Osias will not be returning to the same school building he knew so well, as well as to his home.

As a grateful member of Mrs. Richardson's class community and a teaching artist in Osias's class, I wanted to help raise funds for their next steps to ensure that they can remain in our community.
