Fires took disabled Vietnam War Veterans' home, please help.
Donation protected
My name is Jacob Fennell. I am a US Citizen and I work in Germany for a US Defense Contracting agency on a logistics contract supporting the US Army.
My mother and father, Kathleen and Roger Fennell, lost their small and modest home in Altadena, California. The majority of their neighborhood was completely destroyed in the recent fires which have been ravaging Los Angeles County.

My parents have always been proponents of doing good for others. They both served in the Vietnam War, in the US Army, he as a medic and she as a volunteer Army nurse. They worked very hard in the medical field, including volunteering to provide much-needed medical services to patients in developing nations such as Romania, Columbia, Vietnam, Kenya, Argentina, and Mexico. They are not rich, and they do not have three or four other homes like many celebrities we keep hearing about. After all they have experienced in their lives, they deserve to live in peace.
My mother and father left their home with only the clothes they were wearing, and they are now living in a hotel temporarily. It was a very quick evacuation with little to no time to prepare. They left behind vital medicine and medical equipment Everything they worked for, everything they did to create this home, it's all gone. Everything, gone.
Any assistance is appreciated, as it will be costly to pay for the following:
- Lodging
- Food / water
- Clothing
- Fuel
- Relocation
We have never asked for handouts or assistance. We work hard, and we keep to ourselves. This is utterly critical. If anyone can provide any assistance, if possible, it would be appreciated.
If you do not feel comfortable donating to this cause, then please donate to the following charities:
The elderly, young children, disabled, sick, and especially animals are especially affected in this fire more than many people might think.
Thank you, and respectfully,
