Help! Claudia Lost Her Home in the Eaton Fire

My name is June O'Neill, and I am a longtime friend and co-worker of Claudia Dial. Her dear family friend, Michael Dondanville II, and I created this fundraiser to help Claudia with immediate expenses after the tragic loss of her Altadena home along with all of her belongings in the Eaton Fire. These funds will help with immediate uncovered expenses while she navigates her insurance claim and replacing essential items not covered by FEMA and other disaster relief aid.

This home was built by Claudia's father the year she was born and held so many precious memories. She grew up in this home and recently moved back into it a couple of years ago when her mother passed away. This home offered grounding and stability as she has navigated a tough couple of years. In addition to the loss of her mother, she recently lost her job of over 40 years this summer. Claudia was the Art Director and backbone of Fiesta Parade Floats and has been a constant source of love and light to her Rose Parade float family. The whimsical beauty she helped create has been seen by millions around the world for years and years.

Claudia is currently safe at the Dondanville home, but this will be a long road to stability, and we ask that you donate what you can, and at very least, share this fundraiser far and wide. If you can't donate today, we hope that you can donate another day. We know many people are suffering the same tragedy and money is stretched thin but greatly appreciate any help you can offer. Just sharing this campaign is a tremendous help! Claudia is truly one of the most wonderful people we've ever met, and we just want to help her as much as we can during this very tragic time of loss. Immediate donations can be made to Michael's Venmo @MillieB1730 and he can pass the money to her right away while GoFundme donations can be used for uncovered bigger expenses in the future. Donations and words of encouragement can also be mailed to her at:
