Help my family after Eaton fire tragedy

Hello, my name is Esperanza Pedraza, and I hope this message finds you well. These are incredibly challenging times for all of us here in Altadena, CA. Sadly, my family lost our home.

We had lived in Altadena for seven years, and it felt like a little piece of Mexico—a truly beautiful place surrounded by nature. Now, only ashes remain. I know many others feel the same heartbreak we do as we face the reality of starting over from nothing.

When we evacuated, we were only able to take two changes of clothes, thinking the situation would be temporary. This has happened before, and our brave heroes were always able to contain it. But this time, nature’s conditions made it impossible.

I humbly ask for your help during this time of great need. Any contribution, no matter how small, would help us to rebuild our lives. Your kindness would mean the world to us, and I pray that your generosity is returned to you many times over.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
