Support Black Altadena Community Families


Help Support Black Community Survivors of the Eaton Fire

 

I was privileged to grow up in the thriving and beautiful communities of Altadena/Pasadena, part of a historic Black Community that guided me in my youth and modeled resilience and excellence to this day.  Recently, our community was devastated by the sudden and destructive fire that left many without homes, belongings, and a sense of security. Survivors of this tragedy are now facing an uncertain future.

 

The Eaton Fire not only destroyed the homes of our neighbors, friends and many relatives, it also took my parent's home and business that they have lived and worked in for over 40 years. I know from my own family's experiences, that the emotional toll of losing everything is startling and immeasurable. 

 

However, I truly believe that together, we can offer hope and help provide the resources our families and community members need to recover.  Many of the survivors and evacuees are in immediate need of shelter, clothing, food, and other essentials.  

 

100% of the funds you donate here will provide, but are not to limited to the following:

 

Temporary housing for families who have lost their homes

Move-in costs, furniture, appliances, and other moving expenses

Clothing, food, and essential supplies for those affected

Financial support for utilities, bills, repairs, and long-term recovery efforts

Laptops, tablets, mobile phones, and other electronics and devices

Emotional and mental health services for those struggling to cope with the trauma

 

We have seen Black communities ravaged and erased by financial displacement and natural disasters all over our country.  The survivors of the Eaton Fire need our support now more than ever to prevent the transfer and loss of our rich culture and valuable assets!  

 

Please share this link with others who would like to make a difference.  Every donation (100%), no matter how small, will be utilized to assist in these efforts to support Altadena and Pasadena families. Your generosity is deeply appreciated.  You can help provide immediate relief and give our community a chance to rebuild their lives, one step at a time.

 

Please also visit our Black Altadena Community Resource Guide for Eaton Fire Survivors at blackaltadenaeatonfireresource.godaddysites.com to we highlight resources and sites that will provide what you need to rebuild your lives and to add your services or other providers to the list.

 

Together, we can make sure they don't face this challenge alone. Thank you sincerely for your kindness and generosity!
