Help Recover the Cassou Family Home and Legacy

A Family Home Lost to Unprecedented Fires

On January 8, 2025, one of the most destructive fires in Los Angeles history tore through Altadena, reducing the Cassou family’s cherished home to ashes. With winds reaching up to 70 miles per hour, the flames left devastation in their wake, forever altering the lives of countless families.

For multiple generations living together, the Cassou home was far more than a house—it was a sanctuary where love, resilience, and community connection flourished. It was a space where family traditions were celebrated, laughter echoed through countless gatherings, and neighbors always found a warm welcome. Today, all that remains are memories.

The Cassou Family’s Fight to Recover

The Cassou family’s roots in Altadena run deep. Georgia Cassou’s grandfather settled in the area in 1938, seeking refuge from wartime Los Angeles. Decades later, Georgia built on this legacy by creating a home that became a cornerstone of the community—a place where the doors were always open to those in need.

Now, that legacy has been shaken. The fire destroyed everything—irreplaceable heirlooms, tools essential for their livelihoods, and the heart of their multigenerational home. But the Cassou family is determined to recover, with their community’s support.

The Immediate Challenge

The fire left the Cassou family with immense challenges as they navigate this devastating loss:

Temporary Housing: They urgently need a safe place to stay during this transitional period.
Caregiving Support: Georgia’s 92 year old mother, who lived in the home, requires 24-hour care.
Recovery Efforts: The family is committed to restoring their home, honoring their heritage while incorporating accessibility features to support Georgia (69) as she ages.

A Message from Georgia Cassou

“This fire has taken our home, but it hasn’t taken our spirit. The road ahead is daunting, but the love and support we’ve already seen gives us hope. Recovering isn’t just about constructing walls—it’s about creating a space where love, resilience, and community thrive.

Your support—whether it’s a donation, sharing our story, or sending good wishes—is invaluable to us. Thank you for standing with our family in this moment of need.”
