Aid for Anna and Mack's Fire Recovery

Dear friends and family of Anna and Mack:

As you may have heard, Anna, Mack, their 16-month old son Seymour and their dog Fran lost their home in Altadena on Wednesday, January 8, to the ongoing Eaton fire.

Anna and Mack left their house on Tuesday, January 7 in the late afternoon after losing power, prior to the start of the fire breaking out. Assuming that they would be able to return home the next day, they left only with a small carry-on suitcase with some things for an overnight stay - pajamas, toiletries, and a few diapers and other essentials for Seymour.

Around 8am on January 8, as the Eaton fire grew rapidly, Mack tried to go back to the house to see whether he could grab a few more things. Upon arriving, he saw their entire street caught on fire and was turned away by the fire department. A few hours later, their neighbor was able to record footage of their home burned down.

Most importantly, Anna, Mack, Seymour and Fran are safe. Needless to say, it’s difficult to even begin to fathom the extent of what Anna and Mack are going through - and will continue to have to manage - over the next few months as they rebuild. Over the past 24 hours, Anna and Mack and their families have received many requests from you all asking how they can help. It goes without saying how much this is appreciated.

Of course, we have likely missed many friends, family members, and Anna and Mack’s larger networks. Please help us by forwarding this link to anyone that you think would be able and willing to help. Money will be used towards costs exceeding federal aid or insurance coverage.

Anna, Mack, and Seymour can’t thank you enough for your support.

Please reach out with any questions to the contact information provided.

Thank you again.
