God is good we will do better again.

In the face of these overwhelming losses, we need your help.

For years, I have dedicated myself to helping others, from supporting women at the House of Ruth domestic shelter to aiding children in Kenya with education and even providing a cow to a school in a Kenyan village. I’ve also been a part of our local churches, serving and giving back to the community that I LOVE. Now, my own community is in desperate need, and I’m turning to you for help.

Hello to whoever is reading this. This is Dom and wanted to share what I experienced. Altadena has been my home for 39yrs seen fire after fire. There was no support. The fire department was totally unprepared. I left my home at 5am watching Marathon rd. engulf inflames after trying to save my home and all my neighbors homes. I battled flames the entire night waiting for rescue to come to my scene and I never did see one firefighter show up to our neighborhood. I don't understand. I noticed I lost water pressure just around 0445am. I have many unanswered questions. Where was the fire Dept at during this horrifying fire. I was putting out fires with shovels and garden hoses. All I needed was a little HELP.

We could’ve saved our homes.

I promised my 75 yrs old mother I wouldn't let her home burn and I failed. A message to my community and my neighborhood I deeply feel your pain.

Thank you to everyone whos reached out to us and offered us some help. Means a lot!
