My family and I (Edenia Jones, daughter Tiaira JonesHill & son, Ethan Fleming) are one of the thousands of lives/families forever changed by the Eaton Fire.

We are a community that has experienced one of the worst disasters ever, and the loss is monumental.

Many families are suffering far more than my family; some have lost loved ones, homes destroyed, and cars burned up in the Eaton Fire. My prayers continually are with them.

However, we need assistance in finding temporary shelter, as I have my two children, Tiaira & Ethan, 2-year-old granddaughter, twin 6-year-old granddaughters, their mom (my daughter), and it is my desire for us to be sheltered together to ensure their safety until we are cleared to return home.

Unfortunately, there is no set timeline of when that will happen.

The funds will be used for accommodations, food & transportation. The twins are scheduled to return to school on Monday. My 2-year-old granddaughter's school, Princeton Montessori School, was lost in the fire (picture above).

Any assistance you can provide, whether you have a rental house or 3/4 bedroom apartment that we could utilize or however you can assist, we would greatly appreciate you and your support.

For the many Americans that have shown support to our community, thank you!
