Altadena Home Lost: Help Brandon and Mom

My name is Steve Sakanashi and I grew up in Altadena as a family friend of Brandon Walker. I’d like to ask for your support in helping Brandon and his mom after a devastating fire destroyed their home and belongings.

A Devastating Loss

On January 8th, 2025, Brandon and his mother tragically lost their home during the Eaton Fire in Altadena, California. This home held decades of memories and was a symbol of their family’s resilience and love.

Brandon is a young man with deep ties to Altadena, where his family has been a part of the community for generations. As they face the challenge of rebuilding their lives, we’re asking for your support to help them secure essentials, find stability, and begin the process of recovery.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity. Your contributions and prayers mean the world to Brandon, his mom, and all of us rallying behind them.

Why I’m Standing with Brandon:

As a family friend of the Walker family, I can personally attest to their character and need during this difficult time. Brandon’s father was my basketball trainer from junior high through high school—a mentor whose guidance and support shaped me in profound ways.

I’ve known Brandon since he was a young boy, often around the gym while we worked out. Over the years, I’ve watched him grow into a compassionate, hardworking, and resilient young man. When I saw Brandon’s GoFundMe page, I recognized the courage it took to ask for help and offered my support.

Let’s come together to help Brandon and his mom rebuild their lives and show them that they’re not alone in this journey.
