Help Glorivette's Family Rebuild After Fire

Hi friends, old and new, my name is Glorivette Somoza, and I am coming to you today for help as my aunt and cousin are now houseless due to the Eaton fires. It is always hard for us to ask for help, as we pride ourselves on resilience and self-sufficiency. Still, we come to the community globally, asking for assistance after these catastrophic and life-changing fires. My family escaped with the clothes on their backs, their cat, and nothing else. These events are so tragic that my family is beside themselves. They lived in this house for 30 years, and it has been reduced to rubble. They worked 2 to 3 jobs to ensure they never lost this house to a bank, but now they lost it to a fire.

We are asking for donations so they can start rebuilding their lives. They will eventually have to return to work and will need clothing and personal items to do so.

We understand how fortunate we are to have them alive, unscathed, and with us. This is the most important. However, what do you do when everything your parents and you have worked for is reduced to ash? You rebuild, ask the community for assistance, and come back stronger. The funds will be used to find temporary shelter and provide clothing and essential items for my family at this time.

We hope you share this post, donate what you can, and offer your prayers for them. We understand the entire community is hurting deeply from the incalculable losses they have all endured in Altadena and Pasadena. We will rebuild together, as a community.

Thank you for reading. We appreciate you all.

LOVE!
