On January 8, 2024, a devastating wildfire swept through Altadena and Pasadena, leaving behind widespread destruction. Entire neighborhoods have been engulfed in flames, and thousands of families have lost their homes and possessions. The places and neighborhoods we all have grown up in and loved are now sweet memories.

My dad’s home was lost completely in the middle of Altadena. Displaced, with nothing but the clothes on their backs. After 60 years of living in this city and after serving the city for more than 30 years, everything was gone in the blink of an eye.

Rebuilding will take years, but we have an immediate need for day to day necessities such as clothes, clean water (as the water is contaminated), and food to eat (as most businesses have also been effected).

Anything helps! And please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any additional resources you may come across.

There are SO many of us grieving and hurting and maneuvering through this foreign time. I sincerely pray you all remain safe. ❤️❤️

Thank you for your generosity and compassion during this critical time. God Bless you! Our prayers are with you all as well.
